[QUOTE="greggy, post: 1617520, member: 38479"] You mean on calf 1....or 2....or both ? They all seem to come tagged about middle of ear...mid way on both axis Is the ear stronger at lower section, or, is jt just a matter of getting them as close to head as possible ? I prob do not really need to management tag them, I can visually tell them all apart, unlike a mob of white sheep, it can be much harder then & def becomes impossible to know who is related to whom ...lol...apart from the few black or black patched ones... Would be a benefit though if they got out, or someone needs to relay me a msg....or tge vet etc.... Will it cause an ear to droop, or is there enough muscle and meat to carry the tag with the tear.... Poor no 1 I think also has had some sliced off the end....and TBH with the baldy marking and the tear, it is as good as a tatt..or brand 😀 Just looks bad if I want to sell him privately...no hiding his problem. PS when I was looking for tags...I found one that employs 2 pins...but prob too far out and a worse snag waiting to happen perhaps. [/QUOTE]
