When you ear notch a hog's right ear it denotes what?

Ear notching in hogs is a form of identification where specific notches are cut into the ears to denote various information about the animal, such as its litter number and individual number. When you notch a hog's right ear, it typically indicates the litter number, while notches on the left ear represent the individual number within that litter. This system helps farmers keep track of their livestock for breeding and management purposes.


Why is there swine ear notching?

Ear notching in swine is used to identify the litter number and pig number in that litter. The pig's right ear is used to identify the litter number from 1 up to 161 and the pig's left ear is used for the pig's number within that litter. Each ear is broken up into sections from the base around to the top of the ear and numbered 1,3,9,27, and 81 on the litter ear and 1,3, and 9 on the pig ear. Each section can have no more than 2 notches in it and then they are added up on each ear to determine the numbers such as for litter number 113 there would be 5 notches in the right ear and for pig number 6 there would be 2 notches in the left ear. It is recorded like 113-6. It isn't practiced as much now as in the past since ear-tags and tattooing are more readily available.
