Hi

I have 3 sheep which need a second tag as being kept and I only single tagged because not sure what the changes were going to be.  Obviously I need to buy min 10 tags but are the match up tags what I need?  Also, may think of changing from wooden chicken housing to plastic and wondered if you sold the middle (12 hen) size without the run and if so how much it was?

Thanks

Hi,

The Defra rules still seem to be in a state of flux....

It started out as any animal born after 1 Jan needed an eid tag - seems to be changing to any animal tagged after 1 Jan needs an eid tag.

Look at the defra site here : http://www.defra.gov.uk/foodfarm/farmanimal/movements/sheep/ to be sure what you need.

I will send you a pm later with price of chicken house.

Many thanks
