[QUOTE="artesianspringsfarm, post: 1394483, member: 20360"] I know the ear tag topic has been thoroughly covered at least once every 6 months on here but I've got a new twist. I do Zflex tags and have loved them the last few years. I also am that cheap guy that puts cow tags in calves and have not had any major problems. No tag is bulletproof and I know that. This year though, I have had 3 out of 6 calves so far rip out their ear tag within 3-4 days of putting it in. One lost a good chunk of ear. Is this my fault for using cow tags, is it the cold and snow, or is it the zflex design? What do you do for your calves specifically. One tag that you replace later for replacement heifers? [/QUOTE]
