I just like Hereford cows. I like their history to this country, and the childhood memories they create for me. One took my mitten off my hand when I was feeding them corn out of the back of my dad's pick up truck.

This cow doesn't have an ear tag, so it must have a chip implanted or be branded. The ranchers use the tags to keep track of bloodlines, vaccinations, breeding, and so on. It's necessary for the ranchers to keep accurate records, especially when they have large herds! It's up to the rancher what they want on the tags. It could be letters, numbers or a combination. Ear tags don't hurt the cows, any more than earrings hurt people, and probably less! I'm sure they hurt a lot less than branding!
