Why folks like our tags...
4Custom or blank = same price!
A. Select any Premier tags.
In general, light colors imprint the best. The darker colors
are less readable. Tags are listed in order of readability. B. Decide what to imprint.
• Consecutive numbers — Can include repeating farm or ranch names.
• Logos/brands — One time $25 setup fee. Logos DO NOT laser in color.
• Single names or numbers — Cost is $2.50 per tag (call to place order for single tags).
C. Decide imprint location.
Print on the male side (has the pin), female side (has the receptacle) or print on both sides.
4Very fast printing!
It’s what we do! Custom tag orders often leave our door within 2 days, while our competitors’ turnaround time is often 2 weeks or longer.
4No minimum requirement!
Sold in packages of 20 or 25 for most styles. We also imprint
replacement tags (call us to order at $2.50 per tag). 4 Low prices!
For some sizes our tags cost only half as much as similar tags from others. How are we able to do this? Most tag sales occur during Premier’s “slow” months—so we price the tags accordingly because our staff has more time then. It’s a win for us and for you.

How tags can help you...
1. To indicate sex
Benefit: Allows rapid sorting by sex while animals are penned.
• Insert the primary tag in left ear of males, right ear of females.
2. To indicate year of birth
Benefit: A tag can tell you the age from 25 ft away, allowing for faster decisions when sorting.
To do this:
Two ways to do this: (we do both):
a. Use a different color each year.
b. Begin series with year of birth. Ex: tag 24275
indicates lamb is the 275th lamb tagged in year 2024.
3. To indicate sire (and dam) Benefit: No need to check records.
a. Use a different color second tag for each sire (blue tags = Sire XYZ; purple tags = Sire ABC).
Three ways to do this:
b. Have sire name printed on the tag. Apply tags to its progeny.
c. Handwrite the ewe’s tag number with a marking pen (see p. 09) on the lamb’s tag.
If space is limited, write it on the tag's inner surface. Note: Tags can be lost, so use 2 sire/ dam tags (one in each ear).
4. To indicate problems
Benefit: Allows rapid, positive culling of animals with foot problems, mastitis, prolapse, etc.
Two ways to do this:
a. Insert a tag that says “cull”.
b. Use an ear notcher (see p. 09).
5. To indicate single, twin or triplet
Benefit: Speeds up sorting process for breeding and sale purposes. Reduces need to consult records.
Use a different color for each lamb type and repeat colors yearly.
To do this:
Premier’s color code is: • blue = single
• green = twin
• orange = triplet
