[QUOTE="jedstivers, post: 1394615, member: 8873"] In the last few years I bet we've used close to a 1,000 tags. Use only feed lot Z tags. They are a quarter a piece. They are a little lighter too. I think I've lost one or two is all. My cows I keep are tagged with a better Z tag. My baby calves are gagged with the same feed lot Z tag as all the others. I use planks and the calf gets the same number as the cow. No way will I ever go back to the calf having a different number. On the replacement heifers they will get the original white tag cut out and a new yellow tag put in. That up in the dig part of the eye and be sure to be between the vains. Years ago when I used 2 piece tags I lost a huge percentage of them. Some broke but most kept making a split in the ear till they were all the way out and I has a cow or calf with a split ear. I used the calf tags on the calves too. Have not had a single Z tag do that. [/QUOTE]
