[QUOTE="eric, post: 39866, member: 7"] I noticed in another thread that most of you guys use yur own numbering system for ear tags. I really like Certherds idea about the yr of birth and a number for a small heard like mine.....such as 2004 calves will be 401,402,etc. 2005 calves will be 501,502 etc. I also like the idea of giving heifers one color and steers/bulls another color. Question : what type of permanent marker do you use to ensure the marking stays on the tags? I assume a marks-a-lot wont last more than a few months after getting wet. We use paint markers here at the shop to mark our steel parts, but I have never tried it on plastic. What do you use to mark the tags with? [/QUOTE]
