Not seen this subject mentioned before about reading electronic cattle tags. I bought some tags from Shearwell for this years calves but when I try to read them with a stick reader all I get is a long number not the UK number. Reading with the handheld is the same but tells me to link the long number to calf’s ear tag number. Well that’s no good, just want the tag number. Works ok with sheep tags. Anyone else got this?

You need a tag bucket file so that the reader cross references with the UK official tag. Ask Shearwell for a tag bucket file and this can be imported into a software program to display the full UK tag. Happy to help anytime just get in touch no obligation or hassle just honest experienced help. Regards Neil 07966212898 [email protected]
