[QUOTE="AudieWyoming, post: 743137, member: 13669"] I like the two piece, tag with a button. We used Allflex at the dairy so I used them for years. Allflex tried to change (cheaper)the tag sometime in the 90's and they broke at the neck. I tried a cheaper knock off one year, don't recall the brand name but they were awful. They curled, faded, and broke off. I have been using the Feiring Duflex for several years and really like them. I use large for calves and maxi on the replacement heifers and cows. The maxi's have a longer wider neck that helps keep them away from the ear hair. If the pin hole gets too big in an old cow, I cut the neck off of an old calf tag and use it for a washer on a new button. I used to help a friend with just a few cows work his calves. He used Y-tex and cut them out of his calves before he sold them and used the same tags over for years. We had preprinted pairs (same number in each ear) at the dairy. We cut them out when we sold the cow then refreshed the ink and gave that number to a new heifer.@ [/QUOTE]
