You can legally use both the red tags are replacments so i would recommend using them up first as i have just retagged a few of my ewes that didnt have electronic tags   if you need to reorder tags i recommend shear well data  they were quick and fast for me

Agree with Sandyknox, red tags, and Shearwell are excellent.
