CSIP RFID Double ASET Tags by Shearwell for Ontario

Sold as sets of 20 pairs

Price includes CSF levy or provincial check off, if applicable

CSBA members may use a double tagging system with two tags approved and bearing the official identification number under the Canadian Sheep Identification Program as an alternative for tattooing registered sheep.

The yellow Shearwell data tag and the yellow Allflex button / dangle sheep tag are the only Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags currently approved for use in the Canadian Sheep Identification Program (CSIP).

All sheep and lambs must bear an approved CSIP ear tag before they leave their farm of origin. This includes animals leaving the premises temporarily (e.g. exhibitions, veterinarian clinics, community pastures). It is illegal to transport animals not bearing an approved tag.

More than 10 million SET Tags have been sold worldwide, including the UK, Saudi Arabia, Australia and Canada. Lightweight, suitable from day old to adult sheep. Excellent retention rate

Please use the Shearwell SET tag Applicator with the BLACK jaws with the ASET tags.

Recommended Storage Instructions

To allow easy application, these tags should be stored in a warm dry environment. If stored in damp conditions, the tags may become overly flexible. If stored in cold or very dry conditions, the tags may become brittle. If these occur then place the tags in the correct environment and the plastic will return to optimum condition.

Shearwell Data Ltd. (SDL) has advised us of slight changes to the CSIP-approved SET tag. Based on feedback from users there have been improvements made to the current ESET tag.

Improvements to the new ASET tag:

Spike is 1 mm longer to reduce pinching when the tag is closed on thick-eared sheep.

Body of tag is thicker on the spike end to reduce the possibility of tags bending when being applied in warm weather.

Overall tag length is slightly longer to help with bigger ears, plus increase accuracy and reduce bending when closing the tag.

An additional bump on the underside of the tag for fitting into the automatic applicator.
