What brand of ear tags do you recommend for a cow-calf operation?
I run a small herd of angus and have been using the "large 2.25 x 3.0 inch" Duflex tags and have had fair luck with them staying in. I do have trouble being able to read the number on some cows because of ear hair.
A friend of mine recommeded the Z-Tag brand....said they stayed in pretty well. If anyone uses these I'd appreciate your comments. Also whether the one piece or two piece tags are best.
I like the looks of the "extra large" size that hang down more (like you see on the tv auction shows), but am wondering if they get ripped off more in feeders, woods, etc.
Thanks! gwece
