Numbered Yellow Ear Tags

Product Overview

This product shows a strip of yellow numbered ear tags together with loose colored tags and studs. The yellow strip displays consecutive digits 060, 059, 058 down to 051, so a whole batch of animals can be tagged in order without writing numbers by hand. Below the strip, single tags in blue, orange, green and red show the other available colors, printed with numbers such as 002, 091, 080 and 060. Each tag pairs with a round stud that carries the metal-tipped pin.

The tags in this image are the compact size that suits pigs, sheep, goats and young cattle. The rounded rectangle face keeps the digits large enough to read at working distance, while the small neck puts little weight on a thinner ear. Farms that run several buildings find the mixed color option useful: one building stays yellow, another uses green, and numbers run on continuously inside each color group.

Key Features and Benefits

• Consecutive number strips - tags arrive already numbered in sequence, shown as 060 down to 051, so staff tag animals in order without keeping a separate number book.
• Yellow main color - yellow tags contrast strongly against most hides and wool, making them the most visible choice for general herd work.
• Extra mixed colors - blue, orange, green and red tags let farms split animals by pen, age or sex without changing the number series.
• Bold printed digits - dark numbers on the bright tag face stay readable when the animal moves, cutting errors during weighing and vaccination.
• Matching color studs - each tag pairs with its own colored back stud, so the two halves are never mixed up during tagging.
• Compact tag size - the smaller plate suits pigs, sheep and lambs where a large cattle tag would be too heavy.

Materials and Quality

The tag bodies are molded from soft TPU that resists brittleness in cold pig houses and sheep sheds. The numbers are printed in dark ink so they stand out against the bright yellow and colored plates. The back studs are round plastic discs with a sharp metal pin pressed into the center; the pin tip is what punches through the ear and locks under the tag socket.

During pre-shipment checks, we confirm that digits are printed straight, studs sit firmly on the pins, and tag edges have no sharp flashes. A tag that loses its stud during transport means one wasted animal record, so stud tightness is part of every batch check.

How to Use and Maintain

Open the number strip and take one tag at a time in sequence. Fit the tag body into the lower jaw of a standard ear tag plier and the matching stud into the upper jaw, then punch through the center of the ear and release. Numbers are assigned in the order animals are processed, so keep a small pen and paper record of which number went to which animal when extra management detail is needed. Store unused tags in their bag away from sunlight to keep print and colors bright, and do not cut the strip apart early, because the remaining numbers stay easy to check while they are still linked in order.

Applications

These numbered tags fit farrow-to-finish pig farms that tag every piglet in birth order, and sheep farms that need lambs identified within days of being born. The yellow strip style also suits goat herds and small cattle ranches that want one consistent number series across the whole farm. Mixed color packs are useful when the farm runs separate breeding lines that must never share numbers.

Agents and farm supply shops can sell these tags by the strip or by the mixed-color bag. Because the tags are lightweight, a full carton holds thousands of pairs, which keeps unit freight low and makes the product easy to ship together with feeding equipment orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can I choose my own starting number?

The sample strip shows numbers 060 to 051 as a display. For regular orders we can discuss starting digits and sequence length so your records continue smoothly from last year.

Q2: Are these tags safe for newborn piglets?

The compact size is designed for piglets and lambs, but tag only healthy, dry ears and place the punch away from visible veins. If in doubt, ask our sales team which size suits your animal age.

Q3: What happens if a tag breaks or falls out?

Keep a small box of spare tags in the same color when tagging a batch, so a replacement can carry the next number and your record book stays consistent with the herd.

Q4: Do the numbers wash off over time?

The digits are printed onto the TPU face during production. Routine mud and dust can be wiped off; normal pasture wear softens the print slowly over months rather than weeks.
