OK, I'm afraid to even ask what position you needed to get in to take the udder picture... Man, the things we do with/for our animals...

Some things are better left without too much thought @Latestarter

 

[CntryBoy777]

Probably has one of those telescoptic "Go Pro" sticks....

First lamb of the season!

 

[Alexz7272]

She is a first timer and didnt really want him at first but she finally did! I think I’ll call him Niko

When she FINALLY started inspecting him

3 am this morning

This morning:

And here is Nala, still holding out on me. Total WHAT?! look from her this morning

 

[CntryBoy777]

She is just waiting for her time in the "Spotlight".....Niko is really cute, glad mom accepted him....

So I finally became compliant & got my Flock ID for scrapies. Now to figure out what kind of tags to buy.
Here is what the USDA provides, I am NOT a fan of these personally.

I can get these from PremierOne:

OR

These from AllFlex, which is what I am learning towards:

What do you use or recommend?

We use the ones in the middle but that's only because that is what sent to us. I think they sent us 300 tags when we signed up but I guess they have quit doing that.

I have a couple of sheep that have softer than normal tissue in their ears and the tags came loose. One of them is one of only a couple that have names - hers is Notag.

That first one looks pretty wicked and likely harder to put on. But I've never tagged an animal so my opinion isn't worth even $0.01
