Sheep & Goat Tags

Sheep Tags

Nordic Star sheep & goat tags are a simple, cost effective option for tagging your sheep and goats. They are a one piece fold over tag that is either visual tag or an EID tag available in various colours to suit any tagging needs.

Our sheep tag applicator applies both EID & Visual tags. 

Tags are available as either 'Breeding Tags' or 'Slaughter Tags' - If you are unsure as to which tags you need to order, please see a brief guide below:


Sheep Tags

Sheep being kept over 12 months of age must be double tagged (Breeding Pair) with a Yellow EID & Visual tag (Visual tag must not be yellow, black or red).

Sheep going for slaughter or being sold within 12 months of age must be tagged with a single yellow EID tag (EID Slaughter Tag)

Sheep that have lost both tags and the individual number is not known should be retagged with a Red EID & Red Visual tag (Red Replacement Pair)

Sheep that have lost one tag and the individual number is known, can have a like for like Replica tag produced- Please call to discuss.

Goat Tags

EID tagging is optional for goats

If the customer wants to use EID tags for goats, the rules for sheep as above apply.
