    Well how’s it going? What’s the story with new tagging regulations? Does it only affect lambs going into the factory? Have a few here for the mart and just wondering do I need to order the eid tags?

    Sheep to factory need at least 1 tag which must be EID
    All sheep to the mart must have 2 tags

    Have 5 books here all with barcodes yet got the book in the post telling me to discard them. They must have a very poor method of record keeping.

    I'm the same have 2 old ones but they have the 2 barcodes. I thought same as urself the new 1 came in post and said till use that from now on but Mart said old ones will do if they have 2 barcodes. She said there is 2 barcodes on 90% a books she seen this last 6 months.

    Yeah, same here, was confused about the instruction to only use the new books. Used the old one last week, with 2 barcodes, no problem.

    Pulling together cull ewes for the factory /mart . Some could be 6-8yrs old or older. Have a few that have very old tags in. Do they now need new double electronic tags ?

    could be way off here but i thought eid came in 2010

    they're scanning the tags now and give a print out of the numbers , so may be as well to stick an eid on and kepp record in your register, (that's waht I do anyhow)
