I am spending the whole week at Denver. We are starting to get a few new baby calves at home this week. The weather has been good for calving and they are up and running about as fast as they are born. Middle part of the week we ha d a small front come through but otherwise it has been pretty nice. We lost one of our herd bulls the first of the week but that is part of raising livestock and being on a farm.
Spent a couple of days at the National Western Stock Show and will be headed back for a few more days this week. I have been a Livestock Superintendent there for several years. Really nice weather after last week. The snow is melting and the temperatures are really nice. Been back and forth from home to Denver, Co this week so I am getting in lots of travel time.
Here we are again starting a whole new year. The First week has been cold and seasonal for us here in Northeastern Colorado. We moved the cows to a new cornfield last week after Christmas, only to start this week with a snow storm. It was kind of like a blizzard for us but fortunately the snow amount was only a couple of inches. We had to feed the cows for a couple of days. Will be going to the stock show at the end of the week for a couple of days.
Check in here often as we will tell you what went on at our farm this week. We will be discussing all the interesting aspects of how are animals are raised. If you have a topic that you would like us to respond to please email us on our contact form and we will include it in our weekly blogs.
What is the Key Code and how do we come up with it? The Key Code comes from the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Device) ear tag that is placed in the animal’s ear. The tag is a small device about the size of a quarter. – See Photo Below - The ear tag has a very small microchip and several feet of copper wire antenna molded into the tag. The microchip is coded with a 15 digit number. This number stays with that ear tag for life and a long as the ear tag stays in the animal, that animal is identified. The tag can be read by a RFID reading device and this device can be hooked to a computer thereby collecting data on this animal and tag. We use these tags to track our animals, monitor their growth, and anything else that we can monitor with these tags. The 15 digit number is unique to that animal and cannot be duplicated – therefore giving each animal it’s own identity for it’s entire life.
