[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 823709, member: 968"] If the seller doesn't have tags, find another cattle breeder & see if you can "buy" 1 tag from him & borrow his tagger. Tags come numbered or blank. You can write whatever number/info on the blank ones with a special "pen" that you would also need to buy. If your neighbor wants it tagged, they probably tag theirs, borrow their tagger & tag & pen. Pretty costly for 1 animal if you have to buy everything. As far as I know, vets usually just have the metal tags that clip on the edge of their ear - sure couldn't read it walking around a field. The price of the steer depends on it's weight - not age. A 5 month old beef calf can weigh around 500#, but a Jersey may only weigh 250#. That would be $1/lb which is probably about right for a light muscled type steer. [/QUOTE]
