Shoof Leg & Tail Tape for temporary cowshed identification. Waterproof, non-shrinking polyethylene-coated tape for up to three weeks’ use. Easy to tear & pocket-sized.

Waterproof polyethylene for cowsheds
Easy rip & stays on up to 3 weeks
Will not shrink during use

Dairymen have used a variety of products for quick and easy temporary identification in the cowshed. Plastic insulation tape is often used, but this can often shrink after application and cause some pain and aggravation. Ordinary hardware-store duct tape is cheap, and is easy to apply, but generally falls off in a very short time as water penetrates the plastic coating and causes the cloth to fall apart. Our special-manufacture Leg & Tail tape is made for the purpose. It is a polyethylene-coated water-proof cloth-backed tape that is easy to rip, will not shrink, and will stay on the leg or tail for up to three weeks. Tape is 48mm wide. 10m roll is handy pocket size.

Wrap the identification tape firmly around the leg or tail of the animal, overlapping back on itself to secure without clips or ties. Apply with firm but not constrictive tension. Use to temporarily identify individual animals for AI, preg-checking, treatment groups or milking withholding. Tips: Use different colours for different identification purposes and record what each colour means for your herd. Remove tape once the identification period is complete to prevent any discomfort.

Common Questions

What is Shoof Leg & Tail Tape used for?

It's a temporary identification tape for use in the cowshed. You can apply it to a cow's leg or tail to mark individual animals for up to three weeks.

How long will the tape stay on?

The tape is designed to stay on for up to three weeks. It's waterproof and won't shrink during use, so it stays put even in wet cowshed conditions.

What makes this tape different from ordinary duct tape?

Shoof Leg & Tail Tape is made specifically for this job. It's polyethylene-coated and cloth-backed, so water won't penetrate and cause it to fall apart like standard duct tape. It also won't shrink after you put it on, which can happen with plastic insulation tape and cause discomfort to the animal.

What size is the roll and how wide is the tape?

The tape is 48mm wide. The 10m roll is pocket-sized, so it's handy to carry around the cowshed. It's also easy to tear, so you can quickly cut off the length you need.
