Like Susan.....they still have the colored yarn on when we visit the Vet and that is how they mark them in the record. It goes on their sale record. <G> I wait a few weeks before using the little velcro collars. (I've had 2 mommas that wanted NOTHING to do w/ anything on their newborns). Years later, I'm forwarding pics shared by families to co-breeders marked "yellow-boy", "red-girl". I'm for sure gonna' forget their call names, but collar color, NOT!
