[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1650406, member: 20580"] We tag and tattoo calves within 24 hours of birth. We also fly tag in the opposite ear shortly before turning out to summer pasture and run everything through the chute when we do that. It won't harm them if you tag after a few months, it's just cartilage you are piercing and may get a little blood but nothing to worry about. We sometimes have some calves that get some irritation and maybe mild infections around ear tag piercings after they had them in awhile but they usually self heal or just squirt some iodine around the hole and they are fine.
