To Receive Official Sheep and Goat Ear Tags for Interstate Movement.jpg)
Call 1-866-USDA-TAG (1-866-873-2824) to be connected to your local Veterinary Services Area Office or State Office and request that a premises identification number and Flock ID be assigned to your flock. If you want to use USDA ear tags that are provided free to producers, request the number of tags that you will need for a one year period. If you would prefer to purchase a different kind of ear tag contact one of the approved tag companies listed below to purchase the ear tags. Approved ear tag companies offer a wider range of colors and styles. Regular program tags are available to all producers. SFCP tags may only be used in flocks participating in the Scrapie Flock Certification Program.
