I know ear tags?? What the feck, unless it’s for your own purposes no one gives an actual f**k, it’s the first thing that goes in the bin! Go to a slaughter house an ask to see the man who reads the tags, they’ll f**king shît their self because they haven’t got a man!! What a load of bôllocks
Most of the abattoirs read the tags now and print them on kill sheet. Alternatively with Scoteid we can tie in the read order with the corresponding kill sheet.

Maybe around you they do but they certainly don’t down here, most of our Muslim brethren that run abattoirs down here are only worried about one thing and that’s profit, I killed on the dead for twenty years up until two years ago and I never had a sheet come back with eartags on! Grades for every lamb but no ear tag by the side of it 🤷‍♂️

With scot eid you match the kill no to the eid.
Not always a tag no on the kill sheet just a kill no.

Does anyone know if you can view your historic annual sheep inventory online in a hurry?

Failed to print 2 years of them off. I thought they emailed you a copy.....apparently not!!!
