Not sure
It would appear I'm miles from anyone that does them, so ordered from Allflex who I have used before. Don't let me down Allflex!!!

Doesn't help not being in a livestock area. Barely anyone that stocks something as simple as small bags of cattle nuts/milk replacer etc. within about 15 miles of here, and the ones that do it's an absolute rip off.

Probably no help to OP but Markrite based in Launceston give fantastic service. Next day posted or give them a call and go and collect. They can have a tag ready in the time it takes to drive 10 miles there. First class service 👍👍👍

Are they expensive? I used them for sheep tags and just went to them for cattle tags.
Whenever I’ve priced them up (the sheep tags look great, nice and neat, and I rarely have too replace them in sheep I’ve bought it) they are 10p+ what I’m paying elsewhere. For slaughter tags I just want the cheapest possible ones I can get.
I’ve just swapped from Dalton cattle tags too Nordic Star. See how they do 🤷🏻‍♂️

They are pretty stretchy tend to stretch instead of rip out end up about an inch long side to side if they catch them

Sorry for going off topic.
I’m paying 60p ordered in runs of a hundred for slaughter tags, is there anything cheaper than that?
Seems a hell of a waste of money and damage to the environment for them to be binned hours later

Not that I’ve found. 60p is as cheap as it gets. As you say it’s criminal! 😭
