Question ? (Denver Bulls)

[johnmetzger]

Looking at the videos of the bulls at Denver' I notice that some of bulls have a colored zip tie fastened to the rope halter behind the ears. What is the purpose of this ?

Something to do with health papers and stuff just shows that they had health papers I believe

I was told by somebody it has something to do with hill cattle vs yard cattle.

We got the zip ties for the halters when we checked in with health papers.

I mean the different colors.

I mean the different colors.

That I don't know about as we only had one breed, and all yard cattle.

Hope I didn't start something but still dont have a clear response.

Basically it doesnt have anything of significance to do with the bull...Denver puts them on when the cattle check in with their health papers...just part of their check in process...I think the different colors have something to do with the purpose of the animal being there...like if they're just there for display, sale cattle, entered in the shoe, etc etc...the zip tie doesnt mean anything about the calf from my understanding.

We got florescent green ones for the prospect show.  I think the color might have to do with the show your cattle are checked in for.  Not sure what else except to show that the animals were accounted for at check in.

It has nothing to do with The yards or hill. It is a health paper/check in thing and if anybody looks at that animal they can verify that it is supposed to be there

Hmm I was wonderin what those meant thx for the info

They gave you the zip ties at check in.  They told me the green ones were for the hill cattle and brown for yard cattle.
