[QUOTE="dun, post: 64992, member: 34"] Some friends of ours tried your sytem for a couple of years but the numbers for some ofthe heifers started getting too long for a single tag when they got down a couple of generations. We usedto use the same color tags for bulls and heifers and the same numberuing system. The only difference was the boys (it's) got tagged in the right ear, the girls got tagged in the left ear. Now it's a habit to tag opposite ears even though we've gone to different colors and numbering schemes. Concerning the droopy ear. If you tag them back at the weeb where they should be tagged they don't droop. Last year we had a calf that jerked and yanked his head back just as I put the tag in. The tag was 2/3 of the way to the end. The ear hung a little, but the biggest thing was that the ear kind of rolled/folded down, the tag was also towards the top of the ear, so you could never read the tag. But since he was the only one I knew who he was without seeing the tag. dun [/QUOTE]
