I like the twin tag because they seem to break without ripping. Several of mine have lost at least one tag probably from rubbing on fence but no damage done to ear. Unlike sheep where I use the bigger loop tags and they get pulled round. I have one where the tag has moved and sticks up, just waiting to get hooked on something.
