Effective October 1, 2017, the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is no longer providing free plastic ear tags and applicators as part of the National Scrapie Eradication Program. But producers are still required to follow Federal and State regulations for officially identifying their sheep and goats. They will have the option to purchase their own official plastic ear tags from approved tag companies like Premier.
Scrapie is a fatal, degenerative disease affecting the central nervous system of sheep and goats. There is no cure or treatment for scrapie.
Premier continues to offer USDA approved plastic ear tags in several styles: Q-flex® 1.5, Q-flex® 3 and Q-flex® 5, 7X and MiniTags. Color is up to you (except blue, which is reserved for USDA use). We can even customize the male side with your logo or up to 2 lines of text. (See “Customized For You” below for more details.)
