We are moving to EID for weighing finishers and currently use large flag printed tags. We would like to retain a printed flag tag and like the idea of reusable EID. Has anyone got any experience?

Caisley show a management flag eid tag but it's not reusable.

Roxan show reusable eid button tags and may if you ask make reusable management flags.
Yeah, we use Caisley at the moment but their EID are expensive compared to the competition.

These will do the job.
Male Flag tag will provide other half.
Used them.....need to be careful when putting them through the ear....pin in applicator can bend slightly...then damage the stem of the male tag.
Adult cattle ears are a lot tougher than calves.
EID performance is fine.
EID Number displayed was a sequential number when I used them.....not UK Official.
So it is to cross reference to your management system.
