Can anyone recommend a good marker pen for writing names/numbers etc on cattle tags. Mine always seem to fade/wear off. Thanks

They do fade out eventually... but they last better than anything else.

We write the number on 2-3 times (letting it dry each time before reapplying) which wears a lot better

Your doing well for a tag to stay in that long!

They didn't all stay in, but some stay in for a the animals life.
Some cows seem not to loose tags, others loose them all the time.

I find the alflex pens hit or a miss, they either hardly put any ink out or so much comes out it runs. Haven’t found an alternative that actually stays the course of time though.
