Read About Choosing Sheep Identification

To help quickly identify your sheep from your neighbors, or separate your herd, there are products available to meet your needs.

Things to Consider:

  • Ear tags – Plastic ear tags are probably the most common method of identification, and are fairly affordable. They come in a variety of colors, and are either blank or numbered.

  • Electronic –There are also electronic tags available today for use. They are applied just like regular ear tags, but they cost quite a bit more money.

  • Temporary – If you are only temporarily marking your animals for sale or vaccination, there are markers available that will eventually wash off.
