Ear Tags at the Eartags Warehouse

Ear Tags at the Eartags Warehouse The Eartags Warehouse is an online store for all things ear tags. Family-owned and operated in the Where did the Eartags Warehouse come from?

The Eartags Warehouse supplies all types of ear tags and accessories to you. Our customers include sheep and cattle producers (and a few goats, alpaca and pig farmers), with clients coming from every State (and Territory) in Australia. Our days are made interesting by the variety of other clients that we supply “out of the box” tags to – we will do a special newsletter during the year to show you

what these people are up to and how they use our tags. In 2010, Allstock made a decision to diversify our business. We worked with a number of clients who used management tags to manage their flocks, and as farmers as ourselves, recognised the need and opportunity to order ear tags with a quick turn-around. We don't think we are a traditional online business - we pride ourselves in helping customers to order the product that they need, that is correct with NLIS colours and PIC numbers. The bonus for you is how easy is it to order your tags at your convenience and with the extra convenience of doing it from your home (one less job to do in town). 24/7 you can order your tags and with them delivered direct to you – simple, easy and convenient! We supply Allflex, ALEIS, Drovers, Leader Products, Shearwell, Stockbrands, Wagin, Agri ID by Datamars, ZTags, Tru-Test. A huge variety for you to choose from – some old favourites (the old flock tags) and all the new current EID tag options. We pride ourselves on quick service and great products.

Tag lead times are longer than usual right now. Here's what that means for your order. ⏳

Demand for ear tags is exceptionally high across the industry at the moment, and our manufacturing partners are seeing delays in production and printing as a result. We're doing everything on our end to keep orders moving as quickly as possible, but realistic lead times are currently longer than what you might be used to.

If you know you'll need tags in the coming weeks or months, for calving, lambing, re-tagging, or just topping up your kit, the best thing you can do right now is order early. Waiting until the week you need them is the riskiest move in this environment.

Current lead times are always kept up to date on our website, so check eartags.com.au before you place your order to see realistic timing for your specific tag and brand.

We'll keep doing what we can to get your order to you as fast as possible, and we'll keep you posted if anything changes.

Tag fallen out? Here’s what to do.⁠

It happens- stock rub, tags catch, ears grow. The key is acting quickly and correctly.⁠

💡 Tip: High tag loss often comes down to placement, tag size, or applicator wear, not the animal.⁠

Using the wrong applicator for your tags?

It might seem minor, but mismatched applicators can lead to:
• Incomplete locking
• Higher tag loss
• Damaged stems
• More re-tagging (and more cost)

Not all tag brands are designed the same. A few millimetres difference in pin length or locking style can make a big impact on retention.

Before your next tagging run, double-check your applicator matches your tag brand.

Need the right fit? We’ve got you sorted.

Turns out ear tags aren't just for ears. 🏷️

We've put our tags on a lot of things over the years. Cattle, obviously. But also Akubras, keyrings, ute aerials, dog collars, wedding tables, luggage, vineyard rows, music musters, school camps.

We don't ask questions.

Our custom promotional tags are fully printed with your logo, your brand name, and up to four lines of text. You pick the colour. You pick the shape. We show you exactly what it looks like before a single tag gets printed, nothing goes to production without your sign-off.

They're laser printed directly onto the tag, not a sticker, not ink that fades. They go on in June and they're still on the hat in December. That's the whole point.

It has almost become a badge of honour to get a good tag at an event. We've watched ours travel from Birdsville to Batemans Bay on hats, bags, and ute keys belonging to people who picked one up at a show three years ago and never took it off.

If you've got an event, a business, a family property, or just something you reckon deserves a tag, call us or send through an email. We genuinely love this part of the job.

Black and white logo file required — don't have one? We'll work with you on it.

If you run pigs in Australia, this one's for you. The tagging rules are simpler than most people think, but they're different to every other species, and the difference matters. 🐷

Two colours. Two ears. One database. Here's how it works 👇

✅ Yellow breeder tag — left ear.
Before any pig leaves the property it was born on for the first time, it needs a yellow breeder tag in the left ear. That's the tag that says this animal was born here. It goes on before the first movement, no exceptions.

✅ Orange post-breeder tag — right ear.
Before any pig leaves a subsequent property — anywhere it moves after the property of birth — an orange post-breeder tag goes in the right ear. If you've bought pigs and they're moving on again, this is the tag you need.

The different ears aren't random.

Left ear yellow means born here. Right ear orange means came from somewhere else. You can tell at a glance in the yards, at the saleyard, or at the abattoir without reading a single number.

PigPass and the 48-hour rule.

Every pig movement between different PICs needs to be recorded on the PigPass database within 48 hours of arrival. A PigPass NVD must travel with the animals. Saleyards and abattoirs handle their own uploads, direct transfers are your responsibility as the receiver.

One more thing worth knowing: unlike cattle, pigs can carry multiple tags across their lifetime — one from each property they move through. Tags stay on until the animal is processed. That's normal and fully compliant.

We stock NLIS-approved pig tags — yellow breeder and orange post-breeder, printed with your PIC. .

We can confirm that a good boogie to start the first day of winter tagging is better than a motivational speech from the boss (or yourself)

Cattle producers know this, sheep and goat producers are getting across it, pig producers - this one is for you too.

The 48-hour movement recording rule applies to every NLIS species in Australia - same rule, same clock, some consequences if it doesn't get done.

Here is how to works for each:

Cattle, sheep and goats - Every property-to-property movement needs to be recorded on the NLIS database within 48 hours of the animals arriving at the new property. That's 48 hours from arrival, not from when you get around to it. The receiver records the movement in. The sender doesn't have to, but should.

Going through a saleyard? The yard handles it. Going direct to an abattoir? The processor handles it. Private direct transfer? That one's on you.

Pigs - Same principle, different system. All pig movements between different PICs need to be recorded on the PigPass database within 48 hours of arrival. A PigPass NVD must travel with the animals. Saleyards and abattoirs handle their own uploads, direct transfers are the receiver's responsibility.

Every year, every species, every movement. The clock starts when they arrive, not when you remember.

Save this. Share it with someone who needs the reminder. 👆

The 8-year colour cycle is used by the majority of commercial sheep operations across Australia. It means anyone who handles your animals, at the saleyard, at the processor, or on a new property, can identify the year of birth at a glance without scanning a tag. Compulsory in some states, recommended nationally.⁠
⁠
2026 animals need orange tags. 2027 will be light green. And if you've still got 2024 animals moving, they should be on black.⁠
⁠
Pink post-breeder tags are for any sheep that has already left its property of birth, the year doesn't matter, the colour is always pink.⁠

If a disease outbreak hit your region tomorrow, how fast do you think authorities could trace every animal that moved through your property in the last 12 months?

That's what NLIS is actually for.

It's not a paperwork exercise. It's not a box to tick before you load the truck. It's the system that stands between a localised biosecurity incident and a national disaster, and it only works if every producer in the chain is doing their part.

Here's what NLIS actually protects 👇

Australia's livestock industries. Producer livelihoods. Export market access, worth billions of dollars to this country every year. Animal health and biosecurity. Food safety and traceability all the way to the consumer.
In the event of a disease outbreak, a chemical residue issue, or a biosecurity threat, accurate traceability is what allows authorities to respond fast, contain the spread, and limit the damage to the producers and communities caught in the path of it.

The faster they can trace, the smaller the circle of impact. That's the whole point.

Your tags and your NLIS records are your contribution to that system. They're not just about your farm, they're about every farm downstream of you.

We stock NLIS-approved tags for cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs.
