Thornton wasn’t best pleased with having the ear tag pierced into his ear. In fact he was quite put out, being very quite all night. Mind you I wouldn’t be best pleased if I had the tag pierced in to my ear. The piece that goes through the ear is quite large. Thornton has now got over the shock. As I am writing the Diary he is pushing his head into me leg trying to get my attention.
Farmers by law have for many years had to put ear tags in their animals ears so that they can be identified. Since BSE the information that the hold can identify all Farm animals in the European Union. There are hefty fines if you don’t tag you animals and you are also unable to sell or move animals without them being tagged. When sold or moved Ministry animals movement forms have to be filled in and carried with the animals. If you are stopped by the Police or Ministry when moving livestock and you have not got the movement forms you are liable for very hefty fines.
