EID failure to read
Is it a one off failure, an occasional failure (sporadic) or a continuous failure?
If it is...
a one off failure
an occasional failure
a continuous failure

then...
Does the animal have a tag?
Are there a lot of metal objects, (e.g. yard fences or
•
gates), close to the Sheep Auto Drafter?
Metal, particularly if it is rubbing other metal
objects, can set up an electrical interference which
impedes the antennae's ability to identify EIDs.
Is it just animals with a tag in a particular ear, (i.e.
•
right or left) that are not being read? If this is the
case one of the antennae may not be working.
Is the RFID reader attached to the Sheep Auto Drafter
antennae?
