[QUOTE="tytower, post: 427995, member: 2399"] We had this system of ear tagging cattle forced on us. Its called National Livestock Identification scheme - NLIS - Costs about a dollar for each ear tag , $40 for the Allflex Pliers (Old ones won't do it) $5000 or so if you get a laptop , scales ,software, tag reader etc to make any use of it . The only use I can see is that the slaughter house can read the tag a bit easier than the old tail tag system we had . So we spend Millions of dollars and millions of man hours putting these thing in their ears and like the tail tags before them , the ear tags get cut off at slaughter. Here s a scan of where we are at now Don't let your mob get started - react fiercely now!
