ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a reflecting animal ear tag to protect open range cattle against being struck by a vehicle at night by improving visibility of the cattle. The reflecting ear tag also provides an ear tag which may be used in the conventional manner to identify and record information about the cattle. The tag comprises a frame-like tag holder formed of resilient plastic. The holder is reflective to the visible light normally emitted by vehicular headlamps and the like. An ear attachment clip comprises a resilient U-shaped clip body integrally attached to the top of the holder. A post having a pointed end extends inwardly from a second clip arm such that the post may engage with a hole through a first arm. The post also has a plurality of annular barbs whereby the post, and consequently the tag, is locked to the animal's ear after being driven therethrough. A removable tag insert is disposed within the frame and has surface properties to permit writing thereon.
