In addition to list an animal's historic period, gender, and breed, employ ane of the following identification methods. (Come across fig. 10 for a delineation of sheep dentition, table 7 for information on tooth eruption in sheep, and tables 8a and 8b for lists of goat breeds and sheep breeds.)

Official sheep and goat eartags

Serial number tags are issued to accredited veterinarians for apply in completing CVIs or test charts when the animal is not already officially identified and the owner does non have official eartags to utilise.
Call one-866-USDA-TAG to asking gratis official sheep and goat serial eartags. Accredited veterinarians may alternatively elect to purchase official RFID "840" sheep and goat tags for these purposes directly from an approved tag manufacturer.
Flock owners likewise may request free official flock ID tags by calling the same number or may purchase official flock ID or "840" sheep and goat tags from an canonical tag manufacturer. Flock ID tags are imprinted with the flock ID number and an individual animal number.

Legible registration tattoo when the fauna is accompanied by a re-create of the registration certificate in the current owner's name, or if not in the current possessor's proper name a copy of the registration certificate and a completed transfer of buying class dated within 30 days of the movement or if not in the electric current owner's proper name a copy of the registration certificate and a completed transfer of ownership form dated within thirty days of the move or a CVI listing the registry, the tattoo number and flock of origin owner name and address and current owner name and address if dissimilar.
Electronic implantable devices (EID) when the creature is accompanied by a reader and copy of the registration certificate, that includes the EID number, that is in the current owner's name, or if non in the current possessor's proper noun a copy of the registration document and a completed transfer of ownership form dated within 30 days of the motion or a CVI listing the registry, EID number and flock of origin owner proper name and address and current owner name and address if different or in the case of SFCP animals moving without change of ownership or to another SFCP flock, the EID number and flock of origin owner name and address and current flock ID, owner name and address if different.
Legible Flock ID tattoos composed of the Flock Identification Number assigned past APHIS and an private fauna number unique within the flock. (To get a Flock ID assigned flock owners can call i-866-USDA-TAG)
Encounter nine CFR parts 79.two and 79.3 for exemptions or other options.
