Title: Ear Notching
Post by: Gary on October 21, 2010, 07:37:08 pm

Hi I have three different bloodlines of oxford sandy and black when notching litters do I start from 1 on each different bloodline or do I carry the numbers on from the first litter and keep going up on all lines or do each line have to have their own numbers starting from 1??

Thanks Gary

Hi Gary,
Each bloodline will need their own numbers. So start from 1 on the litters from each gilt and when they have their second litter just carry on the numbers.
