[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1788136, member: 38220"] I tag calves to match cow's tag. My vet asked me how I decide which ear to tag them and I said when I straddle them and squeeze them between my knees I'm right handed and that's the ear they get their tag in. If they make the replacement pen or the bull pen, they get a new tag when we take yearling weights or clip sale cattle for pics and video and I pull the calf tag. That's usually before calving season so I wash the old calf tags and if I reuse the number, just go over it again with the tag marker pen ( yup I'm thrifty and only have to buy about a third or half the tags each year plus a few bags of buttons 🤠).
