[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 1100144, member: 6543"] it is a good managment tool..... the stupid part is using a tag which is not permanent as a permanent ID..... I had three calves processed by the vet last spring and he put ID tags in all three...two still have them....the third had lost his within thirty days.... bull that have come back form bull test seldom retain the tags a long as a year..... It would be no more difficult to put an implant the size of a grain of rice at the base of the ear in the cartiladge.....but the industry calmours for something visual.....okay put a regular tag in that says RFID chip in this ear..... sometimes we are collectively so stupid that it is painful.....mandate a permanent rfid and put it in a temporary device....stupid.
