I have to ear tag 4 adult does and 2 fawns from this Spring. The does were never ear tagged by the previous caretakers so now I"m playing catch up. We have to use the EID tags and the metal ones. Are these easy to put in? We'll have to dart all of them seeing as how we don't have a drop chute. Were fine with the darting....just concerned about placing the ear tags correctly. I don't want the fawn's ears to droop. Most of you all only have to use one tag so you probably don't have this issue when tagging your fawns. I just want to make sure the 2 tags won't be too heavy for there little ears. Also....even if were using a Xylazine/Telazol dose.....will they wake when we puncture the ear???? Just want to know the best way to do this......
Also, do I have to worry about possible hypothermia if we do this in November?
