Ear Tag System Proves Practical for Flocks
Cooper Curtice of the U S Department of Agriculture outlines an ear tag method for sheep and cattle that uses aluminum labels with numbers to identify each animal. Females wear tags on the right ear and males on the left with generation markings in front of the dam’s number. The system, usable for flocks under 100 and when grading up with purebred sires, allows rapid tracking of bred lines and replacement of lost tags through ear-notching.
