    Ya busy time of the year for it, you'd think they'd get extra staff for this time of year, not too many farmers are going to spend money at christmas on eartags that are not needed till March. God be with the days when you had to go to college and be a vet to tag calves.:mad:

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    In fairness, this is their busy season.

    It would be a big help to them if we ordered them well in advance, like end of last year. It would help balance their work-load.

    we always order when we get the form and always keep 25 to 30 tags in stock anyhow

    i always order mine a week or so after the form comes out but i had an unopened box so assumed i had 15 tags to keep me going when i opened it there was only 1 tag in it , imagine going to the bother of putting 1 tag in a box:mad:
