Product Overview	The Sheep EID and Visual Tag Set provides dual identification for goat-farming-equipment/" target="_blank" class="keylink">sheep and goats by combining an electronic identification tag with a corresponding visual ear tag. The electronic component contains an RFID transponder that can be read by compatible handheld, stick or panel readers, while the visual tag provides immediate identification without electronic equipment. This combination is suitable for flock traceability, breeding records, weighing, drafting, health management and commercial livestock identification programs. It can be integrated with electronic weighing systems, automatic drafting equipment, sheep handling races and farm management software for efficient individual-animal data collection.
Key Features	Dual identification system combines electronic and visual animal identification. FDX-B electronic transponder configuration available for standard livestock RFID applications. Electronic ID supports rapid individual animal recognition with compatible RFID readers. Matching visual identification supports easy manual checking during routine flock handling. Suitable for use with sheep weighing, drafting, breeding and traceability systems. Durable livestock-grade plastic construction is designed for long-term farm use. Numbering, text, color and visual marking can be customized according to project requirements. Suitable for sheep, lambs, goats and other compatible small-ruminant identification programs.
Structural Components	Electronic EID Tag: Contains an embedded RFID transponder for electronic animal identification. Visual Ear Tag: Provides a clearly visible identification number, farm code or management marking. Male Stud: Passes through the ear and locks into the corresponding female tag component. Female Tag Body: Forms the locking portion and may contain the electronic transponder depending on configuration. Laser Marking Area: Allows permanent visual numbering, lettering, barcodes or other management information according to model. RFID Transponder: Stores the unique electronic identification number for reader-based data collection.
Working Principle	The EID tag contains a passive RFID transponder that is energized when it enters the electromagnetic field generated by a compatible livestock reader. The transponder then returns its unique electronic identification number to the reader without requiring an internal battery. The electronic number can be linked with animal records such as weight, breed, age, treatment history, reproduction data and movement information. The matching visual tag provides a convenient manual reference when electronic reading is not required. For high-throughput sheep handling systems, panel readers can be installed near weighing crates, raceways or automatic drafting equipment so identification data is collected as animals pass through the system.

Applications	Commercial sheep breeding farms Goat production and breeding operations Electronic weighing and automatic drafting systems Individual animal traceability programs Performance recording and genetic selection Veterinary and treatment record management Feedlot and finishing flock management Livestock auctions and animal movement identification Integrated sheep handling and farm management projects
Customization Options	Tag color, visual tag shape, printed number sequence, farm identification, management text, barcode format and packaging can be customized according to project requirements. Matching electronic and visual numbers can be supplied for dual identification programs. Reader compatibility, applicators, handheld readers and panel reader solutions are available upon request. Final tag specifications can also be configured according to local livestock identification regulations and farm management requirements.
Installation & Maintenance	Ear tags should be applied with the correct compatible applicator. Select a clean position between the cartilage ribs of the ear and avoid major blood vessels. Correct positioning helps improve tag retention and animal comfort. Before tagging, confirm that the male and female components are properly positioned in the applicator. After application, check that the locking mechanism is fully engaged and that the tag moves freely without excessive pressure on the ear. RFID readers and tag applicators should be kept clean and inspected regularly. Reader installations near metal race structures should be planned carefully because surrounding metal can affect RFID reading performance.
Project Cases	Sheep EID and visual tag sets can be integrated into complete livestock identification and sheep handling projects. Typical systems combine EID ear tags with stick readers, fixed panel readers, electronic weighing crates, automatic sorting gates and flock management software. For large commercial farms, this allows individual animal records to be collected automatically during routine weighing, drafting, treatment and breeding operations.
Product FAQ	Q: What is included in an EID and visual tag set? A: A typical set includes one electronic RFID ear tag and one corresponding visual identification tag for dual animal identification. Q: Does the EID tag need a battery? A: No. Passive livestock RFID tags receive energy from the electromagnetic field generated by a compatible reader. Q: Can the visual number match the electronic identification? A: Yes. Matching electronic and visual identification sequences can be supplied according to project requirements. Q: Can the tags work with automatic sheep drafting systems? A: Yes. Compatible EID tags can be read by fixed panel readers integrated with electronic weighing and automatic drafting equipment. Q: Can colors and numbers be customized? A: Yes. Color, numbering, text and management markings are customizable according to order quantity and local identification requirements. Q: Are readers and applicators available together with the tags? A: Yes. Compatible applicators, handheld readers, stick readers and fixed panel readers are available upon request.
