Hi all sorry to not know exactly where to put this. Tomorrow we are expecting horrible weather and I am trying my best to prep the goats as I can. My main concern is if we get tornado and the goats go missing or get out of the barn, I know I cannot stop predatory issues, but I need a way to try and put identification on the goats. We have collars but they don't have a flat surface to write our number on there. I do not have any tags. I took fresh photos of everyone for reference. Does anyone else have tips? I won't be able to travel to get anything but trying to work with what I have for their benefit. Any tips from someone who has faced handling goats with tornado risk? Thanks everyone

Magic marker in their ear?
Zip lock bag with contact info, wrapped around collar and lots of tape.
Got paint? Paint your phone number on them.
Plastic Clorox bottle, cut up for tags.

@Baymule thank you for these I wondered if marker or paint was safe I was thinking of these any experience using them? I could do both. I would use the ziploc bag but our older male goat likes biting things off of others
