[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 141121, member: 220"] A word of advice: Becareful not to tag her in one of the major veins in the ear, or she'll bleed like a stuck pig for a while. Not lethal, but kind of messy. Just position your tagger between the two veins and squeeze away (keeping your face away from her head - you don't want to be bleeding from a busted nose when she jerks her head up after the tag is insterted). Here's a nifty diagram showing the recommended sites in various livestock - 1.Cattle 2.Sheep 3.Pigs 4.Goats [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/CattleAnnie/tagging4.jpg[/img] Personally, I really like the 'Double Z' brand of eartags, as opposed to the button types. Seems they are less prone to ripping them out. Here's a link to their websites: [url=http://www.farnamlivestock.com/newz2.html]http://www.farnamlivestock.com/newz2.html[/url] [url=http://www.ztags.com/]http://www.ztags.com/[/url] Take care. ps. The Z No-Fade Ink Marker is excellent. After trying other brands with various success, have found this one to last longest with legible results due to least fading of ink (nope, not getting paid to endorse their products...just found that they work very well).
