Pig and Cow Ear Tag SL 82

Product Overview

The SL-82 is a yellow ear tag designed for both pigs and cattle, shown here as a single tag printed with the number 042 and a round brand mark above it. The model name in the product image, SL-82, is marked together with its Chinese description, pig and cow ear tag. The rounded rectangle face gives enough room for a large digit while staying compact enough for a pig ear, and the neck socket at the top pairs with a standard locking stud.

Because this one tag covers pigs and cattle, farms that run mixed operations do not need to stock two tag sizes. The bright yellow color keeps the number visible on both black-and-white pig hides and cattle coats, and the soft TPU body flexes when the animal presses its ear against pens, troughs or other animals.

Key Features and Benefits

• Two animals in one model - the SL-82 works for both pigs and cattle, simplifying purchasing for farms that raise both species.
• Bright yellow color - yellow contrast stands out on dark pig hides and on most cattle coats, so the tag is easy to spot during checks.
• Large printed number - digits such as 042 cover a wide part of the face, making individual animals quick to record.
• Round brand mark area - the circular stamp above the number leaves space for a farm logo or batch code on top of the identity number.
• Flexible TPU body - the material bends with the ear instead of snapping when the pig or cow rubs it against fencing.
• Standard stud fit - pairs with a normal round ear tag stud and a standard plier, so no special tooling is needed.

Materials and Quality

The SL-82 tag is molded from TPU that stays pliable in the warm pig house and in open cattle yards. The face is smooth and matte, which helps the printed number show up without glare, and the neck socket is formed in the same piece as the plate for a strong join. The stud used with the tag follows the standard round-disc design with a metal pin that locks into the neck.

Pre-shipment checks confirm print legibility, socket shape and edge finish. A tag that arrives with a crooked digit or a closed socket means one wasted application on a live animal, so these points are checked on every batch before packing.

How to Use and Maintain

Fit the tag body and its stud into a standard ear tag plier, place the jaws over the clean middle of the ear, and press until the two halves click home. For piglets, tag before the ear grows too large and away from the visible veins. After application, the tag needs no daily care; during health checks staff read the yellow number and record it alongside the pen list. Keep unused tags in a dry bag out of direct sunlight. During weaning or transport, glance at the ear once to confirm the stud disc is still seated, and replace any tag that has worked loose before the animal leaves the farm.

Applications

The SL-82 tag suits mixed farms that raise pigs alongside cattle, because one order covers both species without two SKUs. Farrow-to-finish pig operations use it to identify litter groups, while cow-calf ranches use the same tag to mark calves as they move through the working chute. The yellow color also makes it popular with breeding centers that need identity numbers visible in group housing. Farmers who sell weaners at market like the fact that the number stays on the animal through transport, so the buyer can trace the source pen without paperwork.

Trading companies can offer the SL-82 as a versatile farm identification item in catalogs that cover both pig and cattle equipment. Because it is a single popular model, buyers reorder the same SKU year after year, which simplifies stock planning for the distributor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is the SL-82 better for pigs or for cattle?

The SL-82 is designed as a shared model for both species. Pig farms use it on piglets and finishing pigs, while cattle farms use it on calves and adult cows. If your herd is very large, the bigger blank cattle tag may suit the adult cows better.

Q2: Can the round brand mark be replaced with our own logo?

The sample shows a generic round stamp. For bulk orders, custom logos or farm codes can be discussed with our sales team along with the number range you need.

Q3: What size ear fits this tag?

The SL-82 suits pig ears and medium cattle ears. Lambs and very small goat kids are better matched with the smaller rabbit or lamb tag sizes to avoid excess weight.

Q4: Do you sell the plier together with these tags?

Yes, the SL-87 ear mark forceps and other standard pliers pair with this tag. Ask for a combined quotation and we will price the tags, studs and applicator together for your order.
