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 other people 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 |

Cattle Management tags
Is there a year colour for them? No, but it is useful to follow the 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.
