I used to get $5.00, but we'd turn that into $9.00 as Oxford county ladies in the county office did not want them taken out of the fertilizer bags - they gave us $5.00 each. The gals over in Middlesex County made up take them out and cut off the right ear - for $4.00. Thus, we drove over to the Oxford office first. Fox bounties kept me in reloading supplies for last 2 years while in school & the next 4 years as well, while waiting to join up and uphold the law. LOL
