Re: [RC] [RC] [RC] [RC] Branding - Lacy JaeJackie, Is tattooing clearer on horses than it is on other animals? I have a cat that was tattooed when she was spayed, in the ear, and it is completely unreadable now (she's 12-16 years now I think). I also just got a dog that's been separated from it's breeder, a purebred with a breeder tattoo on his stomach, and it's really dang hard to read. They fade and smudge quite easily on most dogs and cats I guess, vets these days seem to HATE tattoos, and are all pushing microchips, because even if the chips move around, they check half the dog or cat looking for it. -Lacy On Mon, 28 Feb 2005 12:00:09 -0800 (PST), Jackie Causgrove <fairhairwolf@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Most branding that I am familiar with has been done on the neck, under the mane (for asthetic reasons). Visible ones have been on shoulder etc. Also, there is tatooing, like at the track. With age, some tatoos can be difficult to read, though. However, a horse that is tattoed certainly is identifable.
