Abstract
A decorated ear tag for livestock is disclosed that comprises a pre-printed multi-layer label bonded to a suitable tag blank to form a unitary finished tag. The resulting tag, and the information displayed thereby, are extremely resistant to deterioration by sunlight and other elements. In addition, the surface of the information panel of the resulting tag has a high slip factor that discourages obscurement of the displayed information by manure or other materials adhering to the tag.
