I see what ya'll are saying about the hog being cut but I just got back from the lease and trapped two hogs with those tags and they were both sows.

Usually they just have numbers. It is like the tags they put on cattle.

Many are Insecticide Ear Tags with no #'s or letters.

Buy Livestock Ear Tags

I know what livestock tags are.... but was asking what these particular tags had on them... could have had reference to a school or state agency... if they were just the regular livestock tags, then someone is releasing these pigs and that MAY be against the law in your state...

A call to the local warden should answer all your questions. I would invite him over for dinner, too. I bet he would enjoy a pig roast.

RE: Why do these hogs have tags on their ears?

I got a few recent pics of tags and these had numbers. I just don't get it. I don't have anyone near my property that would be doing this. I guess someone is doing it to try to keep track of how many hogs there are and when new ones move in andouthis area.
