Numbered Ear Tags 5 Colors

Product Overview

This set of numbered livestock ear tags comes in five bright colors: yellow, orange, blue, pink and green. Each tag carries a printed black number, shown in the sample as 0001 through 0005, and is sold together with a matching round stud that locks the two halves through the animal ear. The flexible tag body and the metal-tipped pin work together with a standard ear tag plier to give farms a quick way to mark and count every animal in the herd.

The five-color design is meant for color-coding. A farm can assign one color to calves born in spring, another to cows from a separate barn, and a third to replacement heifers, so that animal groups can be sorted at a glance from a distance. The rounded rectangle shape leaves a wide flat area for the digits, while the narrow neck keeps the tag comfortable against the ear and reduces tearing during grazing.

Key Features and Benefits

• Five bright colors - yellow, orange, blue, pink and green tags help farms separate batches, barns or age groups visually without extra tools.
• Pre-printed black numbers - bold digits such as 0001 to 0005 are easy to read from a distance, cutting the time needed to record each animal.
• Matching stud and tag body - each color comes with its own round back stud, so the tag halves always pair correctly after application.
• Metal-tipped pin - the stud pin has a hardened point that punches cleanly through the ear and locks into the tag socket with a firm click.
• Flexible tag body - the soft TPU material bends when the animal brushes against fences or feeding racks instead of breaking off.
• Works with standard pliers - these tags fit ordinary ear tag applicators, so farms do not need to buy a special tool for this set.

Materials and Quality

The tag body is molded from flexible TPU, a soft polymer that stays bendable in cold weather and resists cracking from UV exposure in pastures. The digits are printed onto the flat face during production, giving a dark contrast against the bright tag color. The stud on the back half uses the same plastic disc with a sharpened metal pin at its center, which gives the punch strength that an all-plastic tip could not provide.

Before packing, each batch is checked for print clarity, stud fit and edge finish. A clean edge and a fully seated socket mean the tag stays locked once applied; loose studs or smeared printing are removed from the batch.

How to Use and Maintain

Load the tag body into the lower jaw of the plier and the stud into the upper jaw. Place the plier over the clean middle part of the animal ear, squeeze until the two halves click, then release. Tags can be wiped clean with a damp cloth during routine farm checks; there is no maintenance required on the tag itself after application. Keep spare tags in their bag away from direct sunlight so the colors and print stay bright for the whole working season.

Applications

These five-color numbered tags suit breeding farms that run several animal groups at the same time. Dairy operations use them to mark fresh cows, dry cows and heifers in different colors, while sheep farms use them to separate lambing groups by week. The bold numbers also make the tags useful for milking parlors and weighing crates, where staff need to record identity quickly between steps.

Trading companies and farm supply distributors can sell this set as a ready identification kit together with an ear tag plier. Mixed orders of colors and number ranges are common, and the tags pack flat so a full carton holds a large quantity without taking up much warehouse space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can I order a specific number range instead of 0001 to 0005?

The sample image shows numbers 0001 to 0005 as a display set. For bulk orders, number ranges and starting digits can be discussed with our sales team, so your farm can tag animals from 1 and continue across seasons.

Q2: Are these tags suitable for pigs as well as cattle and sheep?

This size is designed mainly for cattle, sheep and goats. Pig farms usually choose the smaller pig ear tag model, so tell us your animal type when ordering and we will recommend the matching size.

Q3: How do I clean tags that get covered in mud?

Wet mud can be wiped off with a cloth or rinsed with clean water. The printed digits are on the tag face and the flexible material handles routine washing without damage.

Q4: What tool do I need to apply these tags?

A standard ear tag plier such as the SL-87 ear mark forceps is required. The tag body sits in the lower jaw and the stud in the upper jaw; one squeeze locks them through the ear.
