Hello Adam,   We are all hear to learn and share, would you please inform the group the brand name of ear tag you use and the proper placement?  Some of us are not as experienced as you and your family.   Thank you!   James Harper Virginia Regional Director Blackbelly Barbados Sheep Association International -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of ADAM STANLEY Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2003 8:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [blackbelly] Re: Ear tags if you have been doing it that long, you should not have and questions.  i give up. lol adam ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 10:55 PM Subject: Re: [blackbelly] Re: Ear tags In a message dated 11/5/2003 10:07:05 PM Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: i and my family have been using all sorts of tags for decades. never had a ripped ear. must be a placement thing. adam Would it be possible to see a picture of the proper placement of a tag......   I have worked with cattle and horses for 45 years, and I have never seen an ear tag last as long as the animal...   They have all pulled out eventually.   I just don't think it is very effective to install ear tags on my replacement ewes and then find that 100% are missing one month later, and all but 2 have ripped ears....... Please enlighten me as to the proper procedure.... Cecil Bearden Oklahoma
