[QUOTE="Nithsdale, post: 8109861, member: 17508"] It isn't often a agree with the man(?) above, but on this occasion... I just ear notch all ewe lambs I think I want to retain at banding (as soon after birth as possible). At weaning I can 3-way draft ewes, notched ewe lambs and then the wedders and unwanted ewe lambs. Then it's just a case of rejecting the bottom end. Ewe lambs which are retained are than ran through the gripper getting dagged, bolused, wormed and tagged (change tag colour every year so I can age a ewe without needing to mouth or physically read/check tag numbers). Unless linking lambs back to their mothers and recording, I see no point to tagging at birth. But, each to their own and the Roxan tags are very light, and would be good for that job (I use them as my slaughter tag) [/QUOTE]
