How are people getting on with lost cattle tags? I seem to be losing a significant amount every year. (Have just ordered 20 tags from a batch of 90 youngstock that have just been housed, they were all double tagged in May)
Losing as many in the summer as in the winter.
They are genuine Allflex tags and probably 75% of the ones I find are still intact and the ear has been ripped, so not the tags fault.
The thing I can’t understand is it is almost always the button type tags that are missing, you’d think it would be the large ones that get caught. I’v moved from using button and large to using a medium and medium on the recommendation of a neighbour, but it’ll take a while to see if it’s made any difference.
