Here’s what some of our customers say about our tags

“Ordering tags is so much simpler since I’ve been using WhatsApp to text Caisley. I can be at home or in the field and send a picture of the tag I need. Or I can ask for a new run of tags. Quick and Easy.”

David Whitaker and his son Josh farm in Quernmore, Lancashire where they manage a mixed suckler herd of British Blue and Limousins alongside a flock of North Country Mule ewes.

“We had been using tags from another manufacturer for years but we were getting fed up with the number of tags that were snapping off or being ripped out of ears.  This was costing us lots of time and money!  We met a representative from Caisley who explained why their tags were superior, so we decided to swap.

Since moving to Caisley tags we hardly ever lose a tag.

They never snap and very rarely do we have a ripped ear.  On top of that the taggers are so simple and always 100% accurate to use, plus we can use the same bit of kit for both the sheep and the cattle.  On top of this it is always a pleasure to speak to the friendly and helpful Caisley team on the phone.  I would highly recommend anyone to make the change to Caisley”

“We have used Caisley tags for 12 years and found them to be very simple to administer as the two tags come in an easy to use strip for each calf. Competitors tags used recently were jumbled up in two separate boxes and are proving to be inconvenient to use. As well as this the competitors tags move in the applicator making the process of application haphazard to say the least as well as time consuming. Drop out rates are also very low with the Caisley tags.”

Caisley livestock tags have been available in the UK for over 30years. We are delighted to inform you that they are now available direct from Caisley and leading agricultural merchants. The current FLEXOPLUS® and FLEXOTRONIC® generation of tags are immediately recognisable by the red cap and locking ring on the female part of the tag.

Caisley cattle and sheep ear tags

are used by farmers in over 70 countries around the world. Our programme of continuous development is focused on making tagging as easy as possible for farmers who have to deal with increasing legislative demands, to comply with animal identification and traceability.

Key Features of Caisley Cattle and Sheep Tags

Outstanding Tag Retention
The FLEXO range has over 99% retention in many husbandry environments.
This is due to the rotating male and female parts.
The locking mechanism prevents friction and ensures secure placement for the animal’s lifetime.

Easy-to-Read Numbers
We use a special font to clearly separate 1 and 7, 3 and 8, 5 and 6.
Deep laser printing improves visibility.
Numbers are easy to read, even in poor light conditions.

One Applicator for All Tags
Only one applicator is needed for all Caisley tags.
This includes FLEXOPLUS®GENO and FLEXOTRONIC® tags.
The patented closing system reduces effort and tissue damage.

Convenient Packaging
Tags are printed and packed in pairs for each animal.
This saves time and avoids mix-ups.
Combo options include visual + EID or visual + tissue sampling.

Tamper-Proof Tissue Sampling
The FLEXOPLUS®GENO tag collects and seals tissue in one action.
This prevents sample mix-ups or contamination.
A green cap and ring identify tissue-sampled animals.

Replacement Tag Policy

If the tag fails mechanically within the first three years we will replace it FOC. If the mechanical damage was as a result of using an applicator other than the Caisley Universal Applicator, the replacement tag would be charged at the standard price. The most common reasons for tag loss are due to incorrect application:

Using the wrong applicator will damage the tag and locking mechanism.

The female part of the tag (with the locking mechanism cap) should always be in the inside of the ear.

Handling and feeding systems, and fencing etc. differ on every farm and can be a factor with tag loss. However as a rough rule of thumb, with cattle flag tags (large or medium) we would not expect on average over a seven year period a tag loss of more than 1 or 2 tags per 100 and will investigate all cases where the loss rate is significantly higher.
