A big part of our goat management is record keeping. At High Meadows the goal is to produce uniform kids with good birth weights and excellent daily gains. Each kid is weighed and tagged within the first few hours after they are born.

Tagging on day one is helpful for several reasons. The kids can be identified and reunited with mom if they get separated. Right ear tag for does and left ear tag for bucks makes field counts easier. If you wait until they are older you will have a hard time catching them. Kids will be weighed again at several intervals to determine their average daily gain.
