[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1840836, member: 12520"] I do have two gripes about the tags. First is retention. The button back will eventually wear out and fall off, allowing the tag to fall out. The second and biggest one to me is the lack of carcass data. We were promised we would be able to get carcass data from animals bearing our tags. And we did get some for the first few years. We no longer do, apparently the packers have decided that this is their information and they aren’t sharing it. There is / was a huge opportunity here for us to put even more distance between ourselves and the rest of the world in terms of carcass quality and efficiency and to this point we’ve blown it.
