I have the best luck with these mini tags for staying in the sheep's ear without breaking or getting caught. They are also very easy to read. Great tags.
Stacy A from Texas
I have never tagged ears before. I hate the tags all my purchased Dorpers have, they seem enormous so I wanted the smallest tag I could find. After using my first order of these tags I will be sticking with this tag/size only. Super easy to install and not huge and bulky, plus they are more flexible than the bigger tags.
Fran S from Louisiana
Very easy to use. Tag was just a little smaller than I expected.
Clear printing on both sides.
Erika W from Georgia
We love these tag! Large enough to read the very clear print, but small enough for young kids. Very durable, but not too bulky. Easy to use. I love the option to chose what is printed and it is easy to read. Great two in one tag, for farm record keeping and for your premise ID on the inside of ear. Gun worked better than expected.
John G from Texas
Perfect size for newborn lambs. Durable.
