   birthDate

   Day animal was born as recorded by the farmer, format YYYY-MM-DD, should not include time, may not coincide with true birthdate, example 2002-15-19

   animalEarTag

   The animal's ear tag number, which is official & unique in most but not all countries. European law dictates that every individual cow needs to be identified by an unique ‘official’ ear tag, in consequence, an identifier similar to the social security number has been created. In Europe every cow gets an unique number assigned after birth notification, this number is then used on the individual identification document and on the official ear tag (EG 911/2004 //EG1760/2000). The official ear tag remains linked to the animal for the rest of its life. This implies the use of the official ear tag as a reliable identifier. The official ear tag is unique (no two cows have the same number), is singular (no cow has two numbers), is total (every cow has one) and is stable (the same number always identifies the same cow) (Kent, 1991).
