NLIS Year Colour Chart for Sheep
It is recommended that Australian farmers (compulsory in some states) use the sheep ear tag colour that corresponds to the commonly used colour of the year system. It is an 8-year cycle as it is unlikely for commercial farmers to have sheep older than 8 years. Having a common colour system makes it easier for others (such as livestock buyers) to quickly identify the age of your livestock as these same colours are used by the majority of commercial farms for their sheep tags.
The colours & matching years are:
| Year | Colour | Year | Colour | Year | Colour |
| 2009 | White | 2017 | White | 2025 | White |
| 2010 | Orange | 2018 | Orange | 2026 | Orange |
| 2011 | Light Green | 2019 | Light Green | 2027 | Light Green |
| 2012 | Purple | 2020 | Purple | 2028 | Purple |
| 2013 | Yellow | 2021 | Yellow | 2029 | Yellow |
| 2014 | Red | 2022 | Red | 2030 | Red |
| 2015 | Sky Blue | 2023 | Sky Blue | 2031 | Sky Blue |
| 2016 | Black | 2024 | Black | 2031 | Black |
| Post Breeder Tags (Any Year) | |||||
| Pink | |||||
Is there a year colour chart for cattle management tags?
No, but it is useful to follow the same year colours as the sheep (8 colours) or if you want to use a prefix for the year, a standard system has been adopted in Australia where a letter represents the year of birth.
