Ear tattoo ID help?

[RedSonja]

When our power was out from last week's tornadoes, I milked outside instead of in our garage to have more light. While our new doe Madeleine was finishing up her grain one day I messed with her ears a bit and to my surprise, she has tattoos. The seller told us she didn't have any so I didn't look til then.

So now I know about how old she is (born in year R so I think that means she's 10 or 11 years old, yes?). I can't decipher the number after the R but that is less important unless I find out who her breeder is.

I think her herd tattoo is CYD. It definitely is C something D. She has had multiple tags in her ears that are no longer there and it looks like the middle digit was damaged by a former tag. I plan to shave both tattoos and see if that makes it any easier to read them, but here are the best pix I got that day of her tats...





Anyone know what herd she's from or how to contact them?

Thanks,

Shine a flashlight through the ear tissue from the other side. It helps you see the tattoo.

Then, call the ADGA.
