It is a legal requirement to attach two ear tags to each ear of every calf when they are born - to help identify each animal in the event of an outbreak of disease, for example.
The reason why both ears need to be tagged is simply so that if one is tipped off there is still a spare tag on the other ear.
Writing on a farming forum, one person said: "Like many I am really enjoying
Jeremy Clarkson’s new series and taking my time to make it last lol.
"However am I the only one noticing #kalebcooper putting the calves ear tags in the wrong way round."
“Not [the] only one. I noticed that too," another added.
A third person also wrote: “I said to the other half he put the tags in backwards.”
But others argued there's "no right and wrong way" to attach ear tags, and some suggested Kaleb's technique was actually better as it makes it easier to see where you're attaching.
One person wrote: "At least they are in the ear, not missing or ripped. Some folks have too much time."
The Farming Advisory Service says: "When using plastic tags the female part should be on the inside/front of the ear with the male part entering from the back of the ear."
