is still busy registering all the state brands and won't have premise ID till July. I hope this state will consider using just our hot iron brands and a tattoo in one ear, as I can't keep tags in cattle. Yes I know how to put them in correctly, some tell me to use the smaller tags as they stay placed better. We use one ear for Bangs tatoo, the other for personal id tags, just how many ears is a bovine supposed to have? Very Happy

Thanks for the responses.

AVID has a RFID tag that you can write on like a dangle tag and still has the button.

Don't use the RFID/Visual combination tag as the retention is less than 95%. Use the visual you currently use and buy the RFID button tag that goes in the very top of the ear close to the head. Hardly any loss this way.

Good luck,

THE BOLUS is the best.The EU will go to BOLUSES in 96 as the only RFID marker .For my thoughts It would be a BRAND and a BOLUS ,THEY have a 100% retention rate.
