[QUOTE="RanchManager, post: 608813, member: 8827"] We used the Y-Tex for years and then switched to Z-Tag. We have lost far less tags with the Z-tags, no doubt. We switched simply because the backs and therefore applicator for our RFID tags is the same for the Z-tags. By happenstance we found out that the Z-tags hold up better. I think it is because the plastic stays more flexible in colder weather. We write our own number on them using an alpha-numeric system. The letter is the year. First calf gets 001. First calf this year will be W001. Next year X001 will be the first calf. The RFID is a back-up system if the tag is lost and for marketing purposes. [/QUOTE]
