[QUOTE="greggy, post: 1615953, member: 38479"] Unlike the US, we do not have your complete freedoms.... Our govts dictate many things, cattle must have govt approved RFID ear tags in many circumstances, or most circumstances rather, an owners ID or markings by tags is a separate thing. so anyone who buys any cattle, they come with govt approved ear tags, any company wishing to sell tags must meet certain requirements, so the main ones are between 2 companies, there may be some others, I am happy to learn about them, also good to know of non approved ones cause you can use them for your own ID visual tags :) I am mainly concerned with the govt reqd ones, I have 3 off since dec last year, 2 ripped ears, 1 the tag let go. The other issue is, you must order new tags, they are then bright orange, what the heck for, I do not know, if one bull calf I has tears his other ear, there will literally be nowhere to put a tag,,,,someone did first ear very close to head and now he has 2 thin slivers as an ear :) It is really bad, he do not care, but is a pain for me .... It is mainly calves who lose them, because they are playful, even some have caught on my clothing as they rush for a feed, and they rub, and in small areas, plenty to rub on :) No one has swallowed one as yet...that would be fun if they came up with 2 IDs when scanned at a yard...lol [/QUOTE]
