Description

  The present invention relates to an ear tag attachment for attaching an ear tag to the ear of an animal such as livestock.

  The conventional ear tag attachment was a handgun type ear tag attachment in which a male ear tag is engaged with a female ear tag by pulling a trigger.

  However, in the conventional ear tag attachment tool, the opening width of the grip portion is wide, the attachment itself is heavy, and it has a strong structure having a considerable force when attaching the ear mark, which is inconvenient. Therefore, it takes a considerable burden on the operator to perform the work of attaching dozens of ear tags per day.

Moreover, although it is a device for attaching ear tags, the male type and the female type may be misaligned and may not be driven accurately, which may cause unnecessary damage to livestock.
