So I finally became compliant & got my Flock ID for scrapies. Now to figure out what kind of tags to buy.
Here is what the USDA provides, I am NOT a fan of these personally.

I can get these from PremierOne:

OR

These from AllFlex, which is what I am learning towards:

We use the ones in the middle but that's only because that is what sent to us. I think they sent us 300 tags when we signed up but I guess they have quit doing that.

I have a couple of sheep that have softer than normal tissue in their ears and the tags came loose. One of them is one of only a couple that have names - hers is Notag. :)

That first one looks pretty wicked and likely harder to put on. But I've never tagged an animal so my opinion isn't worth even $0.01 ;)
