ear tags
Cattle marking clips
Ear tags are plastic or metal markers attached to the ears of livestock for identification.
Each tag typically displays a number, barcode, or electronic chip linking the animal to records of ownership, breeding, and medical history.
Cattle, sheep, pigs, and goats commonly wear them: The rancher checked the ear tags before loading the cattle.
Some wildlife researchers also tag animals for tracking studies.
