I started with the two piece but seems like retention is getting worse. They want to lecture about the pin. I bought it. I never use a different pin or tagger. I'm about ready to say send me a new pin we will see if that helps. I'm not saying all fall out but one that's been in place a year just fell out this morning.

I LOVE the engraving option but those stupid tags are really getting on my nerves. They say the allflex button is an alternative and I think that's my next move. I think other tags are fine for short term animals. I want the tag to stay in cows retained in the herd for awhile. I mean sure some cattle rip them out but I don't want them falling out as often as they do for no good reason. The one today shouldn't have much reason. Nor should they on the summer pasture 2 cows lost tags on last year.
