EID Sheep Tags for Electronic Flock Identification
These EID ear tags for sheep link each animal’s electronic identification code to its record in your flock management system. A compatible reader scans the code so you can retrieve or update the correct record without manually entering the tag number.
The tag provides identification data. Weight, breeding and treatment information is recorded through your software, connected equipment or manual entries.
This model is designed for sheep and goat identification, serving farms, livestock equipment suppliers and system integrators.
Key Features
- TPU body: Thermoplastic polyurethane construction with a listed IP68 rating.
- Custom identification: Laser engraving, code printing and code encoding are available for your numbering requirements.
- Colour options: Choose yellow, orange or green to suit your farm’s identification plan.
Choosing Tags for Your Reader
For an existing low-frequency system, choose 134.2 kHz sheep ear tags with a protocol supported by your reader. Send us your reader model and required numbering format so we can check the configuration before you order.
If you need FDX-B sheep tags, specify this when requesting a quote. The product specifications also list HDX and UHF options; these should not be treated as functions included in every tag.
For a new installation, explore our low-frequency RFID readers to discuss a suitable tag and reader combination.

Applications in Sheep and Goat Management
Electronic identification connects records collected at different handling points to the same animal.
| Application | How the Animal ID Is Used |
| Weighing sessions | Associate a scanned ID with a weight entry when your equipment or software supports this workflow. |
| Breeding management | Retrieve the correct record before entering mating, lambing or parentage information. |
| Treatment recording | Link vaccinations, treatments and follow-up notes to an individual animal. |
| Group transfers | Record scanned animals when moving them between management groups or handling areas. |
These workflows require compatible readers and suitable recordkeeping tools. See our sheep and goat RFID applications for related identification setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can these tags track sheep without a reader?
A: No. A compatible RFID reader is required to capture the identification code. These tags do not provide GPS location tracking or continuously report an animal’s position.
Q: What should I provide for custom numbering?
A: Send your number range, printed layout and electronic encoding format. Our team can review these details before production.
Q: Which applicator should I use?
A: Confirm the matching applicator with our team before installation. An applicator designed for another ear tag may not fit this model.
