Tattoo

I was on Jeffers site looking for something to tattoo the new babies with. Lots of choices!

Of course I would like to get the cheapest one, but I want one that works and last.

I was thinking of this one http://www.jefferspet.com/products/r...a2600f000003b7 ?

What ya' all think?

It would be nice to be able to use the same one to tattoo the rabbits.

The problem is that I think that these are the 3/8", and are pretty big for both newborn goats and young rabbits. I use the small animal tattoo kit, which are 5/16". I used this for rabbits and goat kids. I tattoo goat kids when I disbud to get it all done. I tattooed SF and NZ kits at 6wks.

If you ahve two for your goat herd, you can have a set you change for individual ID, and a set that holds your herd sequence that doesn't get changed.
