Title: Advice on re tagging
Post by: welsh_cob on September 19, 2015, 12:16:45 pm
Need to fit replacement tags to my two goats. Done my sheep and had no bother. Replaced one tag and my goat squealed!! Couldn't bring myself to do the other ear. I know it needs doing.  Has anyone ever tried numbing the ears or used another method to ease the initial pain?

You can now get pastern tags from dalton  but you still need 1ear tag one scream is better than 2.
