For years I used Z-tags and I was extremely satisfied. My last batch however did not work out. The tip that punctured the ear would not go in straight, and it would end up bending over ruining the ear tag. I threw away dozens. I ran into a man at a trade show who told me the company had been sold, and the new owners had cheapened materials to increase profits. Although I was assured those quality control problems have since been fixed, this year I purchased a similar product made by Allflex. This one was labeled A-tag, but appears almost identical to the Z-tag.
The old Z-tags would fade unless you used a Z-tag marker. It was explained to me that those markers were designed to chemically combine with the plastic on Z tags and leave an imprint that would last years. I have those markers left, so I was wondering if anyone else has tried Z tag markers on A-tags? I am hoping the plastics are similar so I can use them up.
