I have my Scrapies ear tags and I am ready to put them on my lambs. This is my first time applying ear tags, so I am a little nervous about it. There is not much information on the internet on how to properly do this. I found a picture on premier's website, which just showed not to pierce in the middle where the vein is. We flashed a flashlight through the ears and I do not see a vein. I am planning on piercing above the midline and close to the head. I don't want to pierce close to the tip or the ear will droop. Is there going to be bleeding? Also, you just dip the tags in rubbing alcohol first?
