Come in number 3047 you have lost an ear tag

I decided to go for an early walk before breakfast again this morning. On my way I needed to walk up a slope across a large field and continue up into the woods. To do this I had to negotiate a herd of young bullocks. They be quite dangerous, especially if a dog is present. Having no dog I waved my walking stick at them when they got too close and continued on my way.

Then a noticed something yellow laying in the grass. One of the young bullocks had shed one of his ear tags.
