Best Answer

Cattle ears are pierced with tags and buttons for identification purposes, to identify a particular animal within a larger herd. This is highly useful of the herd is uniform, and when selling them. In Canada, the use of RFID tags and buttons is necessary for the ability of an animal to be traced back to its original herd should anything arise with that particular animal.
