Is there any reason to keep those metal ear tags?

[QUOTE="stocky, post: 269937, member: 1150"] The metal ear tag, along with the tattoo is proof of the brucellosis vaccination in a calf. Here, that metal tag is orange and has an id number that is coded for the state and also the year, I believe. If you take a cow to the cattle auction, if it does not have the metal brucellosis ear tag, there will be one just like it, only silver, with an id number put in the cow's ear. This tag is supposed to be permanent and it is illegal to remove it, as it will be recorded each time the cow passes through an auction barn or when it goes to a slaughter plant, it has whatever history of ownership as has been recorded.
