  15. Ear Notches • The hogs left ear is used for notches to show individual pig number in the litter. Each pig will have different notches in this ear. • The Hogs right ear is used for litter mark, and all pigs in the same litter must have the same ear notches in this ear. The right ear is on the pig's own right.
