eartag
Cattle identification clip
An eartag is a small plastic or metal tag clipped to an animal's ear for identification, common in livestock management: Each calf gets an eartag at birth.
The tag typically displays a number or barcode linking to records about the animal's health, breeding, and ownership.
As a verb, to eartag is to attach such a tag.
