“From small beginnings to the international scale of business we now run, it has been an exciting journey to date.”
Richard Webber, Director
Shearwell Data is an animal identification and software management business. Being farmer owned, Shearwell understands farmers’ needs and challenges. The team are committed to supplying and developing products to support livestock farming businesses. The product range includes ear tags for sheep, goats and cattle, electronic (EID) readers, software and handlings systems, all designed and built to withstand a hard day’s work out on farm.
In 2002 Shearwell developed the SET Tag. Available in 11 colours and multiple print options, SET Tags are renowned for their quality and efficiency and their covered pin, ensures excellent retention. These lightweight, one-piece ear tags are durable and easy to apply, ideal for the identification of sheep and goats. Now also available in drums to apply with the TurboTagger, five times faster than our single applicator!
Shearwell is the first company in the world to offer a metal EID tag for cattle. The MET Tag combines EID capabilities with stainless steel. The MET Tag has been designed around the very popular Ketchum metal tag, which is well-liked by livestock farmers around the world due to its retention capabilities. The development of this revolutionary product is testament to the expertise within the Shearwell business.
Shearwell has been a pioneer in Electronic Identification, initially for management information and we could never have envisaged it being used as widely and extensively as it now is. It has been an enlightening journey, meeting many people along the way with a desire to use detailed knowledge and technology to help manage and improve their farming business. Shearwell celebrated its 30th Anniversary in 2022, quite an achievement for a family, farmer owned business whose mission has and continues to be “Working to help the livestock farmer”.
