Title: Tattoo kit for goats/sheeps' ears
Post by: Anke on March 13, 2012, 10:20:10 pm

Anyone bought one recently/using tattoing currently (in conjunction with ear tag obviously)?

I am really after it for my goats, as they are getting infected ears quite regularly, but I know it's legal for sheep too, and something I am considering for my pedigree flock.

We tattoo all our lambs at six weeks old. Flock no in one ear and individual in the other. That way if they lose tags, we still can identify them.

Fearing have tattoo stuff for sale at affordable prices.
