Subject: Best Tag retention



Ste. Rose, MB
Was wondering what you all think is the best tag for retention on cattle. We use the Allflex Maxi Tags (yellow tag with black ink) We have to have nice large numbers but it seems like the cattle end up loosing a lot of tags. I'll sometimes find some just in the grain troughs, so I wonder if they don't bite them off from each other??? The other culprit is bale feeders, aside from that, there is absolutely no twine anywhere to get caught in or anything of that nature. Have heard that Z tags seem to hold a lot better... the only thing I don't like changing the application system because the RFID buttons are Allflex. So what do you all use? happy with the tags or not?

TIA
