Hi I am looking for a cheap place to get my ear tags for my 2 pigs that leave next week, I need the round Zee ones like small buttons.Didn't want to but these in bulk like most company's seem to want to sell. A few would be all I need at this time. ASAP plz       Lang Girl G

Hi,

When you say "Leave" are they going to slaughter or are they being sold as Pedigree?

If for slaughter they will need matal tags, if not then plastic Zee will be OK.

If under 12 months of age and being sold to another holding then they can be moved on a paint mark (unless breed society rules insist on tagging)

We can supply in batches of 10 tags.

Have a look at our site - under sheep tags for Zee or pig items for metal.

Thanks

Hi yes they are going to be slaughtered and butchered by the same guy, who lives local. We have been told by friends they can have the button coloured tags, they have just sent their pigs, and all was ok. They also have a Zee tager we can borrow to tag the pigs with. I will ring you tomorrow and chat about this, but thank you for the help
