Sheep and goats are tagged in numbers, handled in flocks and moved often, so the cost per tag and the speed of a read matter more than anywhere else. Raybaca supplies lightweight tags and the pedigree and weighing devices built around them.

The Problems on This Kind of Operation

• Lambs are tagged in volume at birth and the paperwork rarely keeps up
• Small ears will not carry a heavy tag without tearing
• Pedigree links between ewe and lamb are lost as soon as they leave the pen
• Weighing a flock one animal at a time takes a full day of labour
• Flock counts at movement are estimates rather than records

What Buyers Need

• A small light tag that a lamb's ear can carry from birth
• Identification and weight bound together at the moment of weighing
• Pedigree records created in the yard, not typed up afterwards
• Equipment that works away from mains power in the paddock

Typical Application Scenarios

• Tagging lambs at birth and binding them to the ewe
• Automatic weighing of weaned lambs during transfer between pens
• Flock counts at gateways during movement to pasture
• Pedigree and growth records for meat and dairy sheep enterprises

How a Deployment Runs

The order of these steps matters more than the hardware. Getting the frequency and the numbering settled first is what stops a project being redone.

Tag at birth

UHF electronic ear tags go into lambs at birth so the record starts on day one.

Bind identity and weight

A pedigree and weight device reads the tag and stores the weight against the code, on battery, without site power.

Export or upload

Data is stored locally with USB export, or uploaded automatically to a management platform address.

Use the record

Growth rates and pedigree lines become the basis for culling and breeding decisions.
