Anything that can speed up sheep tagging has to be welcomed says Ian Buchanan who runs a commercial flock of Scottish Blackface in the Sperrins outside Dungiven, County Londonderry. Ian switched to TagFaster in 2013 and has chosen the system ever since to identify slaughter lambs and his breeding replacements.
"The automatic tagger is quick, easy to use and delivers 20 tags in sequence, which saves time and the need for additional help. Overall, I think the system is excellent with multiple benefits for both the farmer and the lambs."
