[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1681361, member: 24816"] [USER=39973]@dog doc[/USER] I would definitely not recommend using fly tags on calves that young, I would follow the guidelines on the product label. We fly tagged some young calves a couple years ago probably around 6 weeks old, and both calves ears became infected, and one developed a good sized growth on its ear at the site of the tag. [USER=28887]@ccr[/USER] we have used fly tags for quite a few years, and as far as I know the tags on the calves don't affect the cow's udder. Even though it means running the cattle through the chute again, and hot weather we wait until around late May at the very earliest or better yet into June to fly tag, as they just don't last long enough if put in earlier. Ever year I debate it but then usually go ahead and put tags in. We are also feeding a mineral that contains Clarifly. [/QUOTE]
