My farm boss has been ear tagging lambs, which are between 5 and 12 weeks, today. They really seem to jump when tagged, where as my old flock, which were tagged before 7 days (and some only 24hrs old) didn't seem to notice. Do they feel more pain as they get older? What age do most people tag their lambs and does it differ between breeds? Also, tags on the bottom or top edge of the ear? (I used to use the button tags as they never seemed to get caught)
