[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1570009, member: 37967"] I always did it, but I had a really nice Raindance calf last year that was tagged, as we always had done before, cleaned everything with alcohol, tagged her, then a week or so later her ear was infected and drooping. I took it out, cleaned her up, it healed back, but the ear is not quite shaped up right. Now I tag them when they get a little bit older. When they are born, I give them Multimin, weigh, tattoo, take a blood sample, and put iodine on the navel. At about a month, I bring in momma and baby, give Momma Multimin,and Eprinex, at which time I can quickly identify the calf, verify the tattoo and put in a tag. The ears are more developed by then and I rarely ever have a torn ear, or infection. It’s time consuming, but jacked up, torn ears drive me nuts. I freeze brand them at weaning. [/QUOTE]
