I like Allflex bubblegum tags.

I use Supplies for Smallholders and on ordering my supply of tags this year, they arrived within a day!  Superb service and very competitive pricing with a no hassle service.

I just ordered some management tags from here http://www.thetags4u.com/ think the minimum you can buy is 25 but if you order 100 you get a tag applicator free

I like Allflex bubblegum tags.

Me too. Allflex have a minimum order of 10.

I have been told that Ketchums (don't like their tags personally) have no minimum order.

Ketchums you can order what you need, I ordered 10 electronic pairs and 10 electronic red replacers, and they sent me applicators free
I must admit I have never had a loss with one of their tags yet BUT I would say get a second set of applicators as the electronic ones need an insert and it is a royal pain in the arse putting it in and taking it out when tagging more than one animal

 Whilst circulating our own survey into the serious welfare effects of ear tagging sheep and goats not intended for the food chain, I have come across a government consultation on alternative means of identifying sheep and goats, which will be of interest to anyone who has experienced the horrific injuries and suffering that can be caused by ear tagging. Since ear tagging was introduced it has been seen to be unnecessary mutilation by keepers of animals such as rare breed sheep, Pygmy goats and diary animals.
No one I have spoken to has been informed of the consultation which closes on the 20^th[/size]September 2013, Please show your support by visiting the links below and help circulate this information amongst like minded people. It may well be possible to change the way we identify our pets and livestock and end the unnecessary discomfort tags have caused but not without supporters.
[/size]please use the links below to access the governments consultation information and survey and our own survey into the welfare implications of ear tagging which will provide evidence to support a change in identification regulations.
Best Wishes

Oooo look, you've resurrected another old thread.


Why not just start your own?


Resurrecting old threads is mildly irritating.
