Shearwell Helps farmers afford EID slaughter tags.
At 59p Shearwell's EID slaughter tag has to be the best buy on the market.
We have deliberately brought our prices down to help the ease of tag reading in Critical Control points to allow those centres to read tags on behalf of those farmers who would rather not buy readers and use the technology. This is just another way in which our company is trying to help the industry as a whole to make this new technology work for farmers.

Shearwell Data granted dealer status by Orange Mobile
Shearwell Data Ltd are pleased to have been granted Dealer status by Orange Mobile. We are able to provide all the usual facilities currently available in the high street but with the service and advice you would expect from a farm friendly business.
We are especially pleased about this development as the Orange dealership
complements our StockMove Express product that performs cattle registrations
and movements in the field via a mobile phone without the need to use
the onerous paper system or log on to CTS Online.
Cattle farmers can now access the BCMS cattle tracing system to register
births and movements without the need for a computer
Shearwell Data are proud to announce the launch of StockMove Express, the simple way to record birth and movement information out on the farm. Designed to operate on the Nokia Series 60 handsets, it provides a fast, effective and economical way to register births and movements either manually or electronically in the field.
Using StockMove Express, there is no need for complicated form filling
or having to return to the farm office to use the computer to register
your births and movements with CTS. Having essential Dam and calf information
in your pocket is a huge bonus when out on the farm. For further information,
please ring 01643 841611 or email
Did you know that you can now opt out of receiving paper application forms when ordering new cattle ear tags?
Until now pre-printed passport application forms have been sent out automatically to all cattle keepers when new ear tags are ordered. You can now choose whether or not you want to receive these forms. If you normally use an electronic route for registering calves, you may want to opt out of receiving paper forms. If so, simply let BCMS know by email or phone and they will record your preference so that no forms will be sent out when you order ear tags in future. If you take up this option BCMS will accept telephone applications in emergency situations, eg computer or internet failures. You can go back to receiving paper forms at any time.
If you would like to opt out of receiving pre-printed application forms
please e-mail BCMS at
, or contact the BCMS Helpline (English 0845 050 1234, Welsh 0845 050
3456). If you wish to continue receiving application forms you do not
need to take any action.
Bar Coded Cattle Tags - UK & NI
