Is there any reason to keep those metal ear tags?

[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 269883, member: 3162"] I don't know the specific tags you are referring to but brucelosis tags must be applied to the ears and it is proof that the cow has been innoculated. Only a vet can innoculate and there is a number on the tag verifying that act. There was a time you could go to feed stores and get rabies vaccinations for your dogs and such. We used to do our own dogs yearly. Then there were folks who had dogs that bit someone and they claimed their dogs had been vaccinated. Essentially their was no proof of the vaccinations. Eventually local, state and federal laws got passed. Brucelosis is kind of like the rabies thing I described above. If a vet gives the innoculation, that little metal tag is the animal's proof, no matter how many owners it has in its lifetime. [/QUOTE]
