- In the buisness world shops are distinguished by certain signs or marks, so in the animal world, animals have their marks. In the olden days the way they used have for marking pigs was to cut out a v on its ear, but now they have silvery tin-clips to stick on its ear and some times they mark them with raddle. There are many ways for marking sheep, for example by putting your initials on them with tar or raddle.
