[QUOTE="ENNOT, post: 285491, member: 3562"] We have used the Y-Tex, Z tags, and Allflex tags. It's hard to say which ones are best. I do like the z tags because if they fall out, they don't rip the ear. We had a couple calves last year where their ears were real small at birth and the weight of the tag caused the hole to wear out a little too big, and then they fell out. At that point we used an Allflex tag with a button. We hand write all of our numbers on. If you start a couple weeks before calving writing the numbers on, you can get multiple layers of ink on with a pen. Also fearing ink works real well for visual retention. It can be a pain to write on the tag with due to the clumsiness of the bottle. [/QUOTE]
