- What is your scrapie flock number?
Before beginning the process with Premier, make sure you have your scrapie flock number (a scrapie flock number typically begins with your state abbreviation). If you don’t have one, call your state APHIS office at 866-USDA-TAG (873-2824) to obtain one.
- Choose your scrapie approved tag
Determine the scrapie approved style you would like to use with your flock. See the 5 size/style options above.
- Choose a color & quantity
White, salmon, yellow, and spearmint are often the easiest to read. Shepherds often use a variety of colors to denote year, sex, or sire of the animal (note: blue tags cannot be ordered for scrapie tags). Tags are sold in packages of 20.
- Customization (see imprinting on official tags below)
Please provide us with the following information. If ordering online, please include this information in the customization box:
- On the female side of the tag (side with the hole), we need to imprint your scrapie flock number and a 4 or 5 digit animal ID number that you have not been issued on a scrapie tag before.
- The male side of tag (side with the pin) you have room for 1-2 additional lines of data. This can be the farm name, a repeat of the individual animal ID, repeat of the flock scrapie number or customization of your choosing.
- Ear Tag Applicators
Make sure you have (or ordered) the correct applicator for your chosen style of tags. The Allflex® Applicator is compatible with Premier’s Q-flex® ear tags.
