Summary
Farmers find that the data collected from Allflex EID tags is the easiest way to understand what individual sheep and their flocks are doing as the basis for more effective decisions about animal welfare and productivity. Assessing the great results his clients have attained, Will says it is “not unachievable without EID, but it takes a hell of a lot more work.”
