[QUOTE="Tag Man, post: 719893, member: 13630"] If you find yourself losing ear tags, take a look at how you're applying them. As others have mentioned, placement is one of the biggest factors. Below is a card we hand out that shows the optimal placement of ear tags. [img]http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk64/gotmud69/NewZTagRetentionTips_PO_03-2285copy.jpg[/img] Keep in mind the following tips when you're applying ear tags: ALWAYS use a new hole - If the hole was large enough to lose the first tag, the next tag will fall out just as easily Avoid penetrating cartilage and blood vessels Always use clean equipment to avoid disease transfer Always use NEW tags Avoid using heavy tags Remove twine from hay bales to minimize snagging When tagging young calves, its important that you pull the ear taught to make sure you don't tear their ear.
