Officially Identifying Sheep & Goats Guidance Document
The USDA suspended funding for free tag applicators. Sheep/goat owners ordering tags for the first time may receive up to 100 free plastic tags. Sheep/goat owners reordering tags may purchase directly from a tag supplier. When ordering tags, be sure to order tags approved by the USDA scrapie eradication program. The owner must provide his/her flock ID and tag sequence. Apply for a flock ID online here. Or use this printer-friendly application here.
