I cant be more frustrated with the current manufacturers of cattle ear tags. They have been turning out cheap junk! We have tried every brand and have even double tagged cattle putting one in each ear. We tag them when they are being bred and are lucky if they last long enough to tell if they pass over their AI date. We have been in the cattle business 45 years and are not amatures at this. We have checking the tightness of the buttons after tagging to make sure they are secure. The tags just keep breaking at the neck of the button and falling out. I have found them laying on the ground and the button breaks off at the neck and out they come. These are brand new tags. They fall apart like they are five year old dry rotted junk. We are going to go back to chains and neck tags if this keeps up. Rediculous!
