ATTENTION
ALL FEMALE GOATS AND SHEEP MUST HAVE AN OFFICIAL USDA EAR
TAG BEFORE UNLOADING!
A new federal disease control program designed to accelerate the eradication of the fatal
brain disease, Scrapie, from the nation’s sheep flocks and goat herds will begin November 19,
2001.
The program will require ear tags to be placed in all sheep and most types of goats by
their owners before they are sold by private treaty or transported to a sale, show, or exhibition.
Tags and applicator pliers are available to producers free of charge from the Oklahoma
Department of Agriculture (ODA).
What animals must be identified? All sexually intact sheep and goats of any age before
being moved for: Sale, Exhibitions, Slaughter, Change of Ownership.
Each of the following qualify as official identification: An official USDA tag. (Obtained
from the ODA) Legible official dairy goat registry tattoo. (Only if the animal is accompanied by
a registration certificate) For animals not suitable for eartaging, legible flank or tail-web tattoo
containing the premise and individual ID.
What are the record keeping requirements? The following records are required to be kept
for five years:
Animals that are tagged by owners
Date the animals were tagged, tag numbers applied, breed, age, sex.
Purchased Animals
Animal ID, name, address and phone number whom purchased from. Animal ID, name,
address and phone number of person or market animal sold to. Date of acquisition or sale, breed,
age, sex.
How are official USDA ear tags obtained? Tag Request Forms can be obtained from the
ODA (405) 522-6131. Tagging pliers will be provided at no charge with the first order; and
additional pliers can be purchased from ODA.
Do I have to identify all the animals I own now, or only before I move them? You do not
have to identify your animals until they are to be exhibited, change ownership, move to a sale,
market or slaughter.
