USDA marked hogs by tattooing in six month trials at the Kansas City stockyards. Livestock Commissioner R L Cuff notes the method is feasible and practical for identifying hogs as they pass a narrow chute. He recalls a packer driver tattooing 64 hogs in under three minutes with legible marks on the carcasses.
