SHEEP TAGGING GUIDE –
The rules are complex and much of the detailed advice available is confusing and difficult to understand. For farmers ordering tags for 2010 born lambs this is the minimum you need to know –
1. For lambs which are going to be slaughtered before they reach 12 months of age i.e. all lambs to be sold fat or store – we strongly recommend the single electronic slaughter tags (using these will keep your option open and ensure that anyone can bid for your lambs. Plastic batch slaughter tag is also acceptable.
2. For Ewe Lambs which are to be retained or sold as potential breeders you need to order Full EID double tags (these come as a pair, one which is electronic).
