I have used Allflex forever. don't like z tags, have never figured out a numbering system I am 100% happy with.
used to get them from Jeffers 100 years ago, but now from here - https://www.cattletags.com/
I use large on females and try to pull them for reuse if we ship her (because I can be cheap), small for steers and just leave them. change color on steers after 200 (custom charge after that), but play around with custom numbering on the blue cow tags. I like blue.
:
haven't ever used weaning flaps or rings, but have thought about it. we mostly .either trailer wean or cow does it herself. I try to cull for cows letting big calves steal from new ones if I see it. I don't run multiple herds.
