FlockFinder EID Reader – Everything You Need to Know
We’re excited to introduce the FlockFinder EID Reader, built specifically to work seamlessly with the FlockFinder app. Whether you’re logging treatments, weights, or general records — scanning tags makes everything faster, easier, and more accurate.
🔖 Tag Compatibility
Our FlockFinder EID Reader is compatible with FDX (Full Duplex) tags — the most common type used across UK sheep farms.
It will work for any animal (sheep, cattle, goats — you name it), as long as their tags are FDX.
✅ Not sure if your tags are FDX or HDX? Just ask your tag supplier — they’ll be able to confirm which type you’re using.
If you’re currently using HDX (Half Duplex) tags, our reader won’t scan them — but we do have an alternative option below 👇
Other Readers That Work with FlockFinder
We’re also compatible with the Shearwell Stick Reader, which supports both FDX and HDX tags.
If you’re already using a Shearwell reader, you can easily connect it to the app and keep using your existing tag setup.
🐑 What does the EID Reader actually do?
The EID Reader makes it quicker and easier to log records by scanning the tag instead of typing it in.
Here’s how it works:
- You scan an animal’s electronic tag using the FlockFinder EID Reader.
- The app instantly pulls up that animal’s record, so you don’t need to enter the number manually.
- From there, you can log treatments, input weights, view history, or record any other data — right in the app.
It’s all about speed and accuracy, especially when you’re handling a group of animals or working in real time. One scan, and you’re ready to record.
🎯 Why Use the FlockFinder Reader?
- Fully integrated with the FlockFinder app
- Lightweight and compact — fits in your pocket
- No tech fuss — connects via Bluetooth in seconds
- Cost-effective — designed with real farm budgets in mind
