We have a little doe fawn that ripped the metal tag from her ear. But she still has a farm tag in tact.
Our vet attempted to retag and it went badly and she now has 2 ripped ears and still no metal tag. We thought of microchipping, but our vet is telling us that we need a tattoo AND a microchip and that we would be required to buy a microchip scanner. Is this correct?
Our deer are pets with no intentions of selling.
Do tattooing and microchipping always have to be done together?
The fawn still has a plastic farm tag in her ear...can we just do tatoo OR chipping as a second form of ID?
Does microchipping require you to buy a scanner?
Thanks for any info. It's very much appreciated as we are new to deer farming!
