Shot a pig this past weekend with a tag in it's ear. She was prego to boot.  This little guy fell out at the point of impact  Here is the tag  I've known guys that will catch boars, cut them and release them but I've never seen anyone catch sows and tag them??? This was in Wood County.

Might be wrong, but isn't it illegal to release anything but cut boars. (Not a P&W regulation, but a TAHC regulation) That sow was probably in a feedlot or something and escaped. That tag might be a fly tag. We used them on calves years ago to keep flies away from their faces in feedlots. It looks kind of old, but might still smell a little "chemically." In any case, good job on getting that breeder out of the gene pool.

Probably a pet. We have raised 2 ferrel hog piglets. They make great pets until they get bred. Then they disappear and go wild. Had a tag in one of ours ear and someone shot her about 3 years after she disappeared.

Texas Tech did a study on our ranch in Kent county a few years ago and ear tagged about a hundred or so, and radio collared a lot of them as well. Bad thing about it was the batteries went dead on the collars and now they cant recover them. We have found a couple and recovered them, but once released there is no telling where they will end up....
