Abstract
An identification tag for an animal which consists of a first member having a panel and projecting headed spike and a second member which has a hole of a smaller cross-sectional size that the largest cross-sectional size of the headed spike. The second member can be a flap attached to the first member. The tag is formed by passing the headed spike through a part of the ear of an animal so the panel is retained in a generally upstanding position on the ear.
