    I know I will have to buy anew tagger for the new tags but wiil the old tagger put on the second tag or will you have to use the new tagger for both. It was handy to have two taggers for the old tags yellow for samples and red for visual

    Pull out the yellow clip at the top of the yellow taggers to allow the eid tag to sit in place.

    We share two pair of taggers with our closest neighbour - one taggers is set for EID tags and the other for the visual tags. We both have the old blue taggers for replacement visual tags.

    If mull in a hole had any cop on they’d have supplied a new tagger FOC to their customers.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    They used to send a sticky label type sheet with the tag numbers on it that you could fill in the calving details etc. Very handy for sticking into calving book here, and could update app when I've time. The last order I got doesn't have this.

    If an animal looses an EID Tag, I take it that you have to replace it with with an EID Tag?

    I've heard you say many times that you're better than no one
    And no one is better than you
    If you really believe that you know you have nothing to win
    And nothing to lose

    I presume so since it's mandatory since July to tag newborn calves with them.
