Anyone who knows ear tags, please help!!

[Fangeddeer]

Hi!! So I let my goats completely free-roam my property because there’s only two goats I own (a mom and son). Due to that, I want to get them ear tags with my information and their name on it. But, I haven’t been able to find any website that sells ear tags in such manner

Could anyone lead me into the right path to get one? Or am I better off getting them goat collars with dog tags? I’d heavily prefer ear tags if it’s possible to do that either way

(Edit, my idea is to have my phone number on top, and their name on the bottom at the very least)

Have you considered getting a premise Id from your state and 840 microchip them instead?
You can also collar and tag them but the chips can't get caught on stuff and are permanent.

Premier1 can have it say w/e you want. Get 4 and put a tag in each ear.

Make sure you get the applicator too!

Here is a link. The 1.5" or mini size seem to work best for sheep. The applicator for mini is different that for larger tags so triple check you get correct one.

I'm cheap. Is Blank tag and sharpie an option? It'll have to be reapplied occasionally but again saying I'm cheap and going to use what I got available.

With blank tag you will still need the ~$35 applicator.

If you need cheapest option, get different color nylon webbing from fabric store and plastic buckles for collars. Hand stitch buckle on with button whole thread.
