Abstract A unitary livestock tag having at least two plys of a rubbery, flexible material and having two flaps of relatively equal dimensions joined by a narrow neck. The sides of the flap adjoining the neck angling backwards away from the neck and are mildly curved at the juncture. The flaps are slotted to aid a flap being pulled through slits formed in the hide of an animal.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
An identification tag for livestock of unitary construction of a resilient pliable matErial including at least one laminated ply and a core ply comprising two plys of synthetic fiber reinforced synthetic rubber having a total thickness of at least 35 mils, said resilient pliable material having two planar flaps extending from opposite ends of a neck, said neck of substantially smaller dimension than said flaps, wherein the weight of the flaps in relationship to the pliable nature of said material is sufficient to cause the flaps to extend in a downward direction when the neck is held parallel to the ground.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
An identification tag for livestock of unitary construction of a resilient pliable matErial including at least one laminated ply and a core ply comprising two plys of synthetic fiber reinforced synthetic rubber having a total thickness of at least 35 mils, said resilient pliable material having two planar flaps extending from opposite ends of a neck, said neck of substantially smaller dimension than said flaps, wherein the weight of the flaps in relationship to the pliable nature of said material is sufficient to cause the flaps to extend in a downward direction when the neck is held parallel to the ground.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A tag according to claim 1, wherein the neck is flat and said tag comprises a core ply of from 25 to 80 mils and at least one lamination of from 10 to 30 mils.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
100 words
An identification tag for livestock of unitary construction of a resilient pliable material having two planar flaps extending from opposite ends of a flat neck, said neck of substantially smaller dimensions than said flaps, said tag being comprised of a core ply of synthetic fiber reinforced synthetic rubber and at least one laminated ply of a different color than said core ply and wherein the weight of the flaps in relationship to the pliable nature of said material is sufficient to cause the flaps to extend in a downward direction, when the neck is held substantially parallel to the ground.
