[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1394591, member: 9096"] I have started using Ztags.. used to use Allflex but my supplier stopped carrying the Allflex RFID's, so I switched over and got a free plier... I haven't had any problem with them so far... Heifer calves get cow tags and the RFID, steers just get the RFID.. as dun said, too expensive! Sometimes the calves do look a little funny.. a 60 lb calf with a Maxi size tag is disproportionate, but they grow into it pretty quick.. never had a calf rip one out. I have a few cows that have broken the tag off.. I know them well though, they're the ones with their head on the wrong side of the fence all the time, so it gets hung up when I scold them and they back out in a hurry! [/QUOTE]
