    Hi there,
    Not allowed any more. The tag number is for life. record in herd register. If she loses it , you reorder from supplier of your choice. Breeding stock get the electronic tag.
    Not sure what the procedure is if you buy ewe lambs in the mart which have got "mart" or "slaughter" tags, and keep them for breeding. I suppose you order electronic tags with their own flock and ID numbers on.
    Someone else will advise better, I am sure.
