Wether Identification

[IdahoNancy]

Your state will give a herd ID number and a handful of tags with numbers on them. The state does not care if the goat is registered anywhere. I gave my goat one of the tags with a number on it. There are still 8 tags left over in a box. No one know which tag is on the goat and which one is in the box until the vet comes to do a health inspection. The vet records the Herd ID you were assigned and the tag number you gave the goat. If your goat never sees a vet the goat tag may never get written down on any official document. We travel out of state and I have never had anyone ask about my goats but I have an Idaho state Herd ID and tags with health certificates just in case.
