By replacing visual marks with a fully electronic system, you can simplify record‑keeping, track breeding programs, manage health treatments, and ensure end‑to‑end traceability.
Sheep Ear RFID Tag Main Features
Two‑Piece Tag Construction
Each set includes a male tag with a sharp, hard‑wearing pin and a female tag that holds the RFID chip. The secure locking mechanism ensures stable and long‑lasting retention.
Optimized Design for Sheep
Slim, low‑profile tags reduce snagging on fences, feeders, or brush, resulting in higher retention and improved sheep comfort compared to cattle‑sized tags.
Technology Options for Any Operation
UHF: Ideal for bulk flock management, enabling long‑range and hands‑free scanning for fast inventory.
LF: Global standard for official EID programs, offering reliable, close‑range individual scans with 100% accuracy.
Animal‑Friendly TPU Material
Crafted from flexible TPU that resists UV, moisture, and temperature extremes, ensuring performance throughout the sheep’s lifecycle.
How It Works: 3 Steps to Smarter Sheep Management
- Attach: Each sheep is assigned a unique ID by applying the two‑piece ear tag with a simple, low‑stress applicator.
- Scan: Use handheld or fixed RFID readers to capture the ID instantly from a distance, without handling the sheep.
- Manage: Data is automatically synced with your software, giving you real‑time access to health history, breeding lines, and traceability records.

- LF (Low Frequency – 134.2KHz): The global standard for official EID (ISO11784/5). Offers unmatched reliability for close-range, individual scans.
- UHF (Ultra-High Frequency – 860-960MHz): The best choice for long-range, bulk reading. Ideal for scanning entire groups of animals at a gate or in a truck.
Customize Visuals & Marking
- Color Options: Yellow, Orange, Green or customize.
- Laser Engraving: We offer permanent laser engraving for your logos, management codes, serial numbers, barcodes, or QR codes.
Finalize Your Data Services
- Data Pre-Encoding: We can pre-program each tag with your required ID sequence, including official EID numbers.
- Large Flag Tag: Our most popular model, providing the largest surface area for highly visible, laser-engraved management codes and logos.
Why is a long, thin tag recommended for sheep?
Sheep are highly active and prone to snagging tags on brush or fences. The slim, low‑profile design reduces snagging and significantly improves tag retention over the sheep’s lifetime.
Should I choose UHF or LF for my flock?
Select UHF for fast, efficient bulk scanning—ideal for counting entire flocks at gates or races. Choose LF if you need guaranteed accuracy for close‑range scans used in breeding or veterinary records.
Are these tags suitable for goats as well?
Yes. The same design, size, and TPU construction work equally well for goats and other small livestock.
