Hi,
We have spent ages reading all posts about ear-tagging - interesting and confusing
Our original enquiry was about where to actually place metal tags but most of the placement related advice we have seen (everywhere we've looked) is about placing plastic tags in the middle of the ear.
What we can't find out is if pigs have forked veins in their ears the way cattle do?
We would still like any advice about where to put metal tags.
We were advised to tag our weaners early, mainly becuase they are easier to handle at an early age. Now it seems that the majority of keepers seem to prefer tagging just before the pigs go on their last journey.
Notwithstanding the advice about early tagging, we have been dithering for a while and our 2 our now 14 weeks old.
Thanks for any advice.
