    They should be punched with a customer number and a piece number or a shop stock number- Remember we can't tell your deer cape from your customers unless you mark it and you probably can't either from just looking at it and you need to be able to match up capes and horns. Number punches are the best- they don't come off like tags can. Quick and easy.

    I use ear tags for cows, and punch them in the ear butt where they will be hidden

    If you want to use tags as an easy visual in addition to your punches contact Carlton Industrial- 1-800-231-5988- You can get the exact same tag the federal fish and wildlife uses for the cites program. Very durable- You can even get them Custom printed for about 40 cents a tag- less than the cattle tags around here.

    whats up Harv,When I spoke to Joyce last week she told me to get sheep tags (ear tags). I ordered 20 with my name on them for real cheap online. You might want to check them out.
