I wouldn't worry about it. You can get the local DVO to issue new cards with the correct dams on the cards if you want, it's easy to get done.

The only issue it might cause would be with the genomics scheme if you're in that or you sell the calves (if they're heifers) to someone who is in the scheme.

Rubbish!

You always have to have the correct details for your animals on their blue cards.

I all ways do it right but if i make a mistake like that I just let it go it makes no difference what so ever I have never seen any of the calves having a troubled life wondering how there parents are

Maybe when you go to sell them in the mart or privately or send them for slaughter you might find problems

Care to explain how it would cause problems when selling for slaughter?? Scaremonger much?

BVD and Johnes investigations using ICBF data will rely in part on dam-calf relationships.
