But it happened somewhere to someone's uncle's brother's sister's dad's sheepDon’t know anyone who can afford to just let sheep die. I got $250 a head for my old ewes last year.
so it must be true
Most calves here will be tagged at marking time (weaning) otherwise they lose tags from their little soft lugs and need retagged anyway.Flies make a mess of ears here round tags, it can only be worse over there
The number of matagouri bushes and chain-mesh gates with eid tags is incredible, start a good cheap herd of them but they just don't seem to get fat ever
doing them in the autumn means less heat and blood and flies
