Sheep farmers should check tag stocks
SHEEP farmers should check their tag stocks in preparation for the implementation of the proposed new rules on double-tagging, say tag manufacturer Ritchey.
Linda Simms from the company said farmers with enough S baseline and movement tags to last until the New Year should avoid ordering additional supplies, so as not to have too many left over when they become obsolete. She also advised keeping a supply of extra UK tags.
"The proposals state that if an animal loses its tag on the holding of its birth, the producer has the option to use an identical replacement," she said.
