Tattoo
Letters

The
tattoo
prefix
is
tattooed
into
the
right
ear
or
right
side
of
the
tail
web
of
all
goats
you
register.
Into
the
left
ear
or
tail
web
goes
a
letter
and
number
combination
that
identifies
each
goat.
Each
left
tattoo
is
different.
If
you
buy
a
bred
doe,
the
kids
born
must
carry
the
herdname
of
the
person
who
bred
and
sold
the
doe
pregnant.
You
may
use
your
tattoo
prefix
on
kids
which
are
born
while
you
own
the
dam.
An
example
of
the
tattoo
numbering
system
would
be
as
follows:
The
letter
E
identifies
kids
born
in
the
year
2014.
E1
would
be
your
first
kid
born
in
2014,
E2
would
be
the
second,
E3
the
third
and
so
on.
When
a
new
year
begins
your
numbering
begins
with
the
number
one
again.
