3. Installing the tag
It is important to correctly attach the tags to the cow's neck in a secure manner in order to avoid
them from turning or falling off.
To securely attach the tag to the cow’s neck:
1. Ensure that your tag assembly kit includes the following parts:
i. H-Tag
ii. Belt, Weight & Buckle
2. Open the outside locker of buckle using the buckle opener (supplied with each system) or a
large flat screwdriver.
3. Mount the belt on the cow's neck in a way that the tag is positioned on the upper left side of the
cow’s neck. (when looking from behind).
4. Closely fasten the belt around the cow’s neck with a maximum of 1-2 fingers gap between the
belt & the neck.
5. Tighten the buckle's lever to lock the belt. Make sure that the buckle is completely closed and
secured (pushed in all the way)
A properly mounted tag should look like this picture:
