As of January 01, 2004, all sheep and lambs must bear an approved
CSIP eartag before they leave their farm of origin. This includes
animals going to community pastures, exhibitions or any movement
off the farm.
Producers can obtain the approved tags for approximately 31
cents each from the Canadian Co-operative Wool growers. Please
indicate that you are calling from Newfoundland.
