which EID tag

[Dee]

Has anyone EID tagged their cattle? I am overwhelmed by the choices of tags, and software, etc ( drovers had a heck of a list this month, which only confused me further)....so.... what do you all use or like, for tags, readers, and software?

The first bag of Barcode ID tags I bought were All Flex. I don't know if they have improved them in the last 3-4 years but they didn't stay in and I ended up having to re-tag quite a few that were tagged with these. The last two bags I bought were Leader and they seem to stay in quite a bit better.

Do these work with the Allflex tagger?

They do work with the Allflex tagger and they look very much the same as well.
