EID tags ??
« on: June 05, 2016, 04:11:34 pm »
Hi All

Just wondered if there is any way you can tell an EID button tag from non EID?  I have button tags from 2 years ago and am a few short for this years lambs ... would like to use up what I have if I can work out if they have EID.
Thanks
Linda

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

I understand all EID tags have tone yellow while non-EID tags can be other colours but yellow.
So it should be easy to tell - the yellow tags are EID.
(or maybe I got that all wrong, tag rules still confused me!)

They are yellow of course ... but would they have been EID from 2 years ago?

We've had EID longer than two years, yes, if that's your question.

If you can't find a way take them to a vet and get them to scan them
