EID Electronic Identification

Notice for Vendors whose hoggs are not from holding of birth.
All electronic ear tags will be read by scanner BUT all non-electronic tags will also have to be recorded. Therefore all non-electronic tags will have to be recorded at home as we must have correct flock numbers for the sheep in every pen. If vendors have purchased hoggs with non-electronic tags it would help us greatly if they could give us a list of any flock numbers in relation to the colour of the tag, which will make recording of them far easier.

Voyce Pullin will not be held responsible for any inaccuracies in the reading of any EID or manual sheep ear tags.
