I thought of a cow before ear tag IDs.
Or an attack by a wolf who needs to see a dentist.

If I'm reading that right thats a number 17. Theres actually a system to reading ear notches. http://livestockshowtips.wordpress.com/2012/12/27/how-to-read-a-show-pigs-ear-notches/

Great find, Porcino! Next time I encounter a notched-ear piglet, I will be able to compliment his parentage accurately!

The ear looks like my up-beat hero, Eeyore

Looks like porky # 17 to me too.

@Patty...I have seen toddlers with pierced ear earings. There is no differance.

I don't agree with that either but its not the same as cutting out notches.

I have notched many piglets. We used anesthetic.
