Sheep Ear Tags Applied

Typically place the tags in the left ear or on the side where most  of the work is done from in the race / crush. The Allflex tagger is seen here. It has an incredibly smooth application action.







Weighing

Expert handlers assist with ram lambs that are classed and lambs excessive in weight are removed from the selection group. 





    

Farmer's ram lots

Typically as depicted in this photo rams arrive as per farmer and are processed, tagged and scanned into the software, drenched for internal parasites, vaccinated, weighed and sorted into different groups.





Kenhardt Dorperland veld ram project

Some of the Dorper rams, marked with the MSD Animal Health ID Tags. The tags for this project were kindly sponsored by MSD Animal Health, South Africa. These were marked in the right ear to replace old "tatty" re-usable tags that were removed where farmers had tagged the animals. No uneccessary new holes were made, whereby stress was limited to an absolute minimum.
