[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1229194, member: 14661"] I don't doubt that some were stolen but I'd bet it was in the low hundreds and the rest is crappy management. I have a customer with 9,800 milking that raises the steers up to weaning weight and keeps a few bulls for cleanup in the pregnant pens and none of the bulls or steers have a tag in their ear. If one dies it just goes on the pile and never gets reported but they are still on inventory as they were recorded in on the day they were born and on inventory day they come up short. :bang: I've seen lots and lots of inventory screw-ups in fifteen years of working on dairies. Especially when inventory is only annual. I only know of one true case of theft that was proven and even then it was proven to be much much less than the number that was reported stolen. [/QUOTE]
