NLIS Leadertags Sheep Goat Ear Tags

VERY IMPORTANT: These are the older-style, non-electronic ear tags. For NLIS purposes, they are only valid for sheep or goats born before 01/01/2025. For animals born on or after this date, electronic tags are mandatory. [Click here to view the electronic version of these tags.]

At 42mm long, the original leader tag has sold hundreds of millions worldwide. It's a proven high quality long lasting tag designed for long term application in sheep, goats and alpacas.

Stronger arms. Positive self-locking design. Curve recess holds the tag in the correct position at all times. Constructed of specially formulated material. Cross section gives greater strength.

Easy to apply with either the Aluminium Leadermatic applicator or Plastic Leadermatic applicator. Leader tags are available in a wide range of colours to suit all year colour coding requirements.  Use a different colour for each age group to save time when drafting for each age and gender. Place Leadertags on opposite ears for ewes and wethers making drafting easy and accurate.

Including your PIC number (or registered stock brand in Western Australia) makes it a NLIS approved tag.  They can be custom-marked using Laser Marking or Foil Stamping. Please note that colours and printing/marking may vary slightly in appearance from the images shown.  Laser marking & foil marking tag colour shades are slightly different to maximise readability. Laser marking is the most popular and newer marking choice with it being permanent.  Foil stamping has slightly better readability, but not as long lasting as laser marking.
