    Has anyone tried using an EID tag supplied by a Limerick company ?

    I met the Company rep at the Teagasc Sheep 2010 event and unfortunatly purchased from them.

    The tag is not much bigger then a factory tag.

    If you are lucky enough you might get 1 sheep tagged with 1 tag in every 5 attempts.

    The shaft on the tag is too soft and bends when it hits the ear.

    The company is a Dept approved supplier

    Just thought i would try once more for a response. The company claim to have sold over 100000 tags with very little problems.

    I use the Mullinahone tags and have no problems. Did the rep supply you with the applicator or are you using your own? Maybe your applicator and his tags aren't compatible.
