Proper identification at birth and legible tattoos are essential to maintaining accurate parentage and production records in herds. Tattooing can be done any time, although it’s best done when the animals are young. The tattoo will grow as the animal gets older, making it easier to read. Success starts with having the proper tattooing equipment.
