Allflex ATag Cow Blank Ear Tags Green, 25 pk.

The ALLFLEX ATag Cow is designed for long term application as a one piece option. It is self-piercing with a pinhole tip, which means faster healing and reduced animal stress. It has high retention, especially in thick eared animals due to a longer tag anchor. It also has a large surface area allowing for a wide range of marking options.Instructions: See inside package insert 1. Flip applicator pin out to load ATAG 2. Fully insert applicator pin into ATAG while rotating tag anchor. 3. Seat tag anchor "v" onto pin so that pointed tip flexes outward. 4. Rotate pin and ATAG back into tagging position 5. Position tag point between the two cartilage ribs in ear. Do not use existing ear tag holes. 6. To apply tag, squeeze applicator handles together. Pull applicator straight down, away from animal (do not open handles). SUGGESTIONS: 1. After application, be sure to pull applicator straight down and away from the animal BEFORE opening the applicator handles to ensure the tag pin is clear from the tag. This prevents damage to the ear and to the applicator pin. 2. Do not use existing tag holes. This can lead to retention problems and loss of tags. 3. ATAG can be used in thin-eared and smaller animals. Hold the tip of the ear taut during application on young calves or smaller animals like sheep and goats. This provides better penetration of the tag tip completely through the ear.
