Considering offering microchipping for my lambs from next spring onward.
Most people want them as pets, so seems like a fair guess they may also want them chipped in case a tag is lost and need extra security verifying sheep identity and ownership.
Chipping is pretty common here at least.
My two geldings are chipped and I'll be doing my two minis soon as well as my barn kittens.
This is what I used on my LGD puppies & would be using it on the others.

I would buy the heavy duty scanner to prove the lambs are chipped.
Manufacturers pricing-
$8 chip alone.
$23 lifetime reg + chip.
I would do pricing as follows-
$9 chip alone.
$25 lifetime reg + chip.
Just a touch more to help eventually pay for the scanner, which would take forever, lol, but that's okay.
What do you guys think?
