Ear ear

Over here all cows have to be tagged  on each the ear.
Quite a lot of work for the farmers.
And word is - the sheep will have to be done the same way soon.



Similar practice in other countries?

Somehow I can't see in being done in Oz?

Over here, it is a popular practice among the Humans.

It's so when they get to the slaughter house they can tell the difference between the horses and the cows

Nice one
 

Lambing time here.


Saw a dog worrying the sheep. Running around barking, " Mint sauce, mint sauce!"

Yep those sheep worry too much.

Lambs are starting here too, they are very entertaining little things as well.  We had 2 in the garden some years ago chasing my wife around, they thought it was great fun, but my wife was pregnant at the time and not allowed near sheep, so she has to be rescued by the farmer, very funny

Hi Matt,

It's been around in Australia for as long as I can recall taking notice of cattle and sheep for insurance purposes. I'd say at least 20 years, possibly longer.

Jeezo!
With all those sheep you have over there, that must keep the farmers busy?
