Bvd tagging video

Sligoronan

Can't find any thing on the net showing how it is done. Can any one point me in right direction.

Hi,
The Video on how to do this isn't great. In my opinion, the farmers journal pages were better. If you cannot find the pages, pm me and i will look for it.

its trial an error, the first few i did took ages... my few tips are... have 2 taggers- the bvd ones and the old type, have tags ready in taggers.... have cover for sample in your pocket... As soon as you tag the bvd tag keep sample facing upwards and put it in cover, close it - which still fecking annoys me -

It has really slowed the job down alright!

Just a tip on de budding calves.... What we do is only put one tag on at birth. Second tag goes on after de budding. Much easier to keep track of what needs debudding

Done the first one today. Lot of bits to it. Defiantly need two tagers. All in all still wish they had a you tube video on it.

Just a quick one

Helped a lad with a calving this evening a little bit early 2-3 weeks head back seemed slightly deformed may be sbv anyways he has the bvd tags ordered but havent arrived yet what does he do with the calf re knackery ie he has ordinary tags from last year but no bvd tags so he cant take sample before he goes to knackery with calf what happens in this case any info would be great thanks
