Wether Identification

[Nanno]

First, call your state vet and get a premises ID. They'll send you a box of ear tags and a tool to insert them. However, you are not required to use them provided your goats are tattooed. If you have LaManchas then you have to tattoo since they don't have external ears (LaManchas are tattooed in the tail web). My herd tattoo is registered with ADGA, which is recognized by the USDA. However, I breed dairy goats so it makes sense for me to be an ADGA member and register my goats through them. Your situation may be different. I would talk to the state vet and find out what your options are in regards to ear tags vs. tattoos.
