Tagging system
Farnam has introduced a double lock cattle tagging system that allows tagging in one swift motion.
The Z 2 Double-Lock Tag offers 12 combinations for a secure two -piece ear tag. The swivel head almost eliminates the likelihood of torn ears or the bending of the applicator pin if the animal moves or jerks in tagging. A pivot pin swings back out for reloading.
The tags have surgical points that cut cleanly through the ear. The applicator pin itself never touches the ear, reducing the risk of disease transfer.
