Leading identification specialist Ritchey's new Stockman Tag range enables cattle producers to effectively double tag livestock for just £1 a head – less than half the average cost of a pint of beer!
The new high-visibility tag range is a cost-effective alternative to Ritchey's premium Dalesman Tag range and is available in the same three sizes, large, medium and button.
Says Andrew Jennings, award-winning pedigree breeder of Abbeyhouse Holsteins, "I've used the Stockman Tag extensively on my Holstein herd - it's great to be able to buy a no-nonsense tag that I can rely on and saves me money into the bargain!"
Already proven in other markets and both PAS44:2002 and DEFRA approved, the two-piece Stockman Tags are durable, soft and flexible and provide fast, positive livestock identification. A super tough nylon resin tip and a rustproof locking washer, ensures easy application and secure locking, combining great performance with excellent value. Tamper-evident, the tags cannot be re-used once installed.
