My new button tags don't work. My old tags had a square tipped male part and always worked. Now they are round tipped the pin on the pliers goes through the side of the tip - result the pig gets a pierced ear but the tag fails to connect to the female side. Not good animal welfare - five different attempts - result no tag in and a fed up pig with 5 holes in his ear who didn't get to the abbatoir! I assume it's 'cos the pig moves once it feels it, but who would stand stockstill for that?
Anyone else experienced this problem?
