Earmark is a term that dates to the 16th century in England, referring to cuts or marks in the ears of cattle, deer, pigs, goats, camels[1] and sheep made to show ownership, age and/or gender. The practice of earmarking may date before that, especially in areas where people grazed livestock among the village herd on common fields. Now you know!!
