Good idea Steve, especially if you are selling on. And if they lose one, you have the other tag to fall back on for ID. But I suppose if you have loads of sheep it does add to the expense.

Hi Val, That wasn't a hint!

. Rambo is absolutely brilliant with the lambs. He takes his patrolling duties very seriously and anyone going in the field gets investigated. We did have to do a lot of work on the fences though

Ive got 102 of em. I just think that 74p is an acceptable overhead.

Sorry Brucklay , only just noticed your question. We use Ritchy quik eid and cut away the whole of the loop right up to the edge of the printed parts after fitting so there is no turned in flap to irritate the ear and they can spin round unhindered. Cut away the part between the blue lines on the photos
