[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 656896, member: 173"] That's pretty much one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard! Without having spent a bunch of time at an auction barn, I'm going to suggest that less than half the animals going through one in central Texas are tagged. Branded if they're older cows, but rarely tagged. A couple of reasons: I raise registered cattle, so my cattle are NEVER tagged. Some of them go to the auction barn.. and not because they are wild or mean, but because they aren't suitable for what I'm selling them for. They are all bunk broke when they get there. There are a lot of mesquite and brushy pastures here, so any animal with an ear tag has a high probability of losing it to a branch before they even get to a sale. A good friend of mine is an order buyer, and has been for years, and that's never been a consideration of his. [/QUOTE]
