Details

Coding the calf crop by colour is the simplest record system there is. Green calves are the green year, and five years on you can age a cow from across the yard without touching a record book. Green sits far enough from yellow and chartreuse to stay distinct once the tags have picked up some dirt. The long neck matters on calves in particular. A tag going in at a couple of days old has a lot of ear growth ahead of it, and the extra length between the flag and the ear keeps things from drawing tight as the calf develops. Twenty-five blank tags to a bag. Write them ahead of calving and carry them in order, because March is not the month to be lettering tags in the barn with cold hands. The one-piece self-piercing design goes in with a single squeeze of the applicator and leaves no button on the back of the ear. These are management and visual identification tags. They are not a substitute for an approved CCIA tag.
