Farmer's Pig Shoulder Tattoo

5 DIGIT FARMER'S PIG SHOULDER TATTOO

The best identification for marking live pigs immediately prior to despatch to the slaughter-house. One slap on the shoulder of the live pig is all that is required to give a legible, permanently tattooed mark on the carcass. The tattoo is supplied with a maximum of five letters as a code. When using, ink the face of tool (needles) each time on inking box before striking pig.

6 DIGIT FARMER'S PIG SHOULDER TATTOO

We are pleased to offer the availability of a new 6 digit Shoulder Tattoo for use with pigs.

Based on our robust and easy-to-use 5 digit model, this new tattoo has been specially developed to comply with the new regulations issued by DEFRA and which came into force on 1 November 2003.

The new official DEFRA herd mark, which must consist of 1 or 2 alpha characters followed by 4 digits, for example, AB1234 or B1234, can be easily incorporated within the head of a new tattoo to leave a clear and permanent identification mark following a firm slap on the shoulder of the live pig. Since it is only marginally larger than its 5 digit predecessor, we wish to point out that any inking boxes or dies purchased for the 5 digit model may still be used.
