Title: slaughter tags
Post by: mcd on August 25, 2014, 09:10:22 pm

I have a 2013 born hogget. Its lost the yellow eid tag but retains blue visual one. Is this sufficient for slaughter or will I need to order a replacement?

Easiest thing is to check with the slaughter house. My tag supplier will supply existing replacements with same numbers if only one tag lost if necessary. :innocent:

No I'm sure he'll need a new EID, all sheep over 12mths old need to have 1 EID and 1 visual tag.
