Explain why you guys tag heifers in one ear and Bulls in the other ?
I've always done it for vet. Heifers get calfhood vac'd in right ear, steers get implants in left. No tag for vet to fight.
We used to put a lot of steers & bulls on test. The facility added their own tags and preferred putting them in on the left side. We wanted our tags left in, so we put them in the right side.
Heifers - same reason for vet.
And yes, everyone can tell the diff between male & female, but when they are looking at you, it gets a little tough to determine sex by their eyeballs. Everyone that walks thru my herd appreciates the different colors. Just faster & easier.
