There is space on the ear tag and on the sample submission container to write your flock number. Remove the small container that is attached, it will contain a small amount of tissue that is automatically sealed in the container. To take a tissue sample for DNA testing and to leave an ear tag in your sheep, simply apply the ear tag as you would any ear tag. Hauptner/ Typifix Tissue Collectors with Ear tags are $3.25 each and the applicator is $32. If you use the Ear Tag option, sample labeling errors are virtually eliminated.

The tissue that you will collect in the sample collection cups can be stored for up to 3 years at room temperature, so you can send them to Gene Check at your convenience and by less expensive shipping methods.
