[QUOTE="mobgrazer, post: 608603, member: 9043"] I have only had a few tags get ripped out. I like the cheap numbered tags for calves. Once they become replacements then make a tag for them. Our numbering system is based off a 6 digit number. We get 3 digit numbers for the calf’s and add the first 3 numbers when we are in the computer system. By using less numbers on the tags you can get larger numbers witch dose help and cheaper to get a complete set (000-999). Our replacements are getting Ytex tags that are hot stamped with our name and phone number; we use there marker to put on there ID numbers. Are you tagging them between the 2 veins in the ear? When I first started mine would rip out also. My vet had to give me a lesion on how to put in ear tags the right way. I field tag when born the first time they are worked I will check the placement and will retag one or two then before the rip out. This link is for the NLIS tags but it dose show the proper placement of the tags.
