Getting ready to get inked |
BP1: This will be Lili |
Cows have lots of hair that grow in their ears. You'll want to get some clippers and shave all the hair out of the ears.
Shaving the ear hair |
It takes a while to do this and calves don't like the noise of the clippers or its vibration around their ears.
Once the ear is clean-shaven, you take the green tattoo ink and rub it liberally in the area that you'll tattoo the markings.
Green tattoo ink |
You put it right on the area that you've painted green and squeeze down on the pliers. This will puncture the ears and leave markings that we selected. When you apply pressure, the calves let you know that it is uncomfortable, much the same as I would assume it feels to get your ears pierced. It bleeds a little bit and you rub the green ink into the punctures in order to get the ink in the holes.
Squeezing the tattoo device into Lili's ear |
We tattoo both ears. You can see below we're tattooing Amy's ears. The green markings give you a general idea of where she'll be marked.
Now it is Amy's turn., |
Now we have them both marked and they'll be easy to identify.
