Description
Agri Health Plastic Lamb Eartag Applicator
The Agri Health Plastic Lamb Eartag Applicator is a plier-style hand tool used to fit Agrihealth lamb ear tags. It is made for sheep keepers, shepherds and smallholders who need a simple, lightweight applicator for tagging lambs at marking time and throughout the season.
