Been a long time since I've caught or seen a marked hog in good Ol east Texas. I dock the tail and notch the left ear on the FEW places I'm aloud to work em. Used to see and catch marked hogs regularly "back in the day". My grandpa had two marks registered with Polk county. I need to research and see if I can find out what they were.

Nope.
Mark, cut, and release if in the woods. Mud will do the healing.
If they are penned ....usually Mark, cut, and spray with burned oil and diesel. Will kill lice and body bugs along with assist healing their rear and keep flies and larvae out of fresh wounds.
If they ever get fly larvae in cuts around head in summertime..it will disorient the hogs and they stumble around until they cannot walk.
Wormer is to expensive round here and would prob give a woods hog a belly ache anyway. Haha.

I used cow tags one time on about 40 barrs. I wrote down the weight, location, & date. A also did a few that were not cut. I kept it to myself and just sat backed and listened. Every year I hear about a hog that was shot and had a cow tag. I did it to see how far they would travel and how quick they would pack on the pounds. I was suprised to see how far these hogs were being killed from the original location for sure. I also here about I saw a huge hog but didn't shoot it because it had a tag and I thought it was a pet.

Crop in both ears!! Sometimes we leave the tail long, sometimes cut it all off!! We Barr as many as we can.. The more you cut, the more you'll catch
