[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 8362"] I've been using the calf tag now for two years...definitely better<br>retention than button back tags. I have two negatives though. They are<br>sometimes really difficult to pierce properly on soft ears (real young calves)<br>because the ear folds up. The back part is the same size no matter what the front<br>tag is. So you have to be careful to make sure it is all the way through. And second,<br>they are not re-usable, with button backs, animals that went to market I removed the tags<br>and recycled them. So a batch of 50 feeders could be used on the new calves the following<br>year. Guess I could cut the ear instead of the tag! but really don't want to do that.<p> <br> <br><hr size=7 width=75%><p> [email=sales@cornerfarm.com]sales@cornerfarm.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
