Tired of repeatedly purchasing replacement ear tags for your herd? Wish there was a way to open and reuse existing herd management ear tags? The tagsavers pliers is the solution to this problem.
The tagsaver tool has been developed to enable herd management ear tags to be easily opened for reuse.You can now open a herd management tag found hooked into netting or fence, and later replace it in the animal it came from.
The convenience of being able to open a herd management tag found abandoned on a fence line reduces the stress out of herd management, and benefits financially as well. You are able to replace lost ear tags promptly without the nuisance and cost of re-ordering. These savings by not purchasing additional tags will quickly recover the cost of purchasing the tool.
If you want to remove an ear tag and replace it with a different one the tagsaver tool can easily remove the old tag, undamaged.
Opportunities to use this valuable tool emerge with the sale of cull cows. Herd management tags can be removed safely, painlessly, and stored for using on next years herd replacements. This reduces the management overhead costs for livestock identification of the herd.
Extensive Field Trials have been performed while renumbering rising 2-yr olds, taking out their on-farm management numbers, and replacing them with numbers which fit into the current herd. This system has the advantage of keeping the herd list to a compact size. The process is quick, easy and painless.
This system works well for renumbering purchased or leased cows. Although it is recommended to use a headbale to restrain the cow, the job can easily be done in the milking shed, and a placid cow can have her new number inserted into the same pre-pierced hole.
Using the tagsaver tool to remove ear tags has shown to be faster and easier than some vendor supplied tag cutting tools. Even if you don't intend to reuse the removed tag there are time saving benefits with using the tagsaver.
We had one customer with a herd of 340, who wanted to move all the tags from the left ear to the right ear. In this situation the purchase price of the tagsaver was considerably less than the cost of replacement ear tags.
Because ear tags connect to each other in a similar manner, this tool will open most styles of tag, large and small, buttons and direct-to-slaughter bobby calf tags.
Cattle, sheep, deer, goat and even other animals:- All use appropriately sized ear tags with the same connector. The tagsaver tool is versatile and works on the tag regardless of it's size because of this common connector.

We understand that this tool is likely to be bounced around in the bottom of the toolbox of the tractor as it goes down the race of the runoff (you know the one that you have been intending to get some more gravel to fill in the pot holes). After being bounced on by the hammer and fencing pliers we still expect this tool to be picked up and used first time. So we have not compromised on the quality of this product. Yes it may get a few dents and scratches over time, but it should still just work.
