Webber started business as a contract shearer and employed shearers from Australia and New Zealand. The company diversified into identification systems and has been supplying visual and RFID solutions since the 1980s.
The company's visual and RFID (EID) sheep tag, sold in Britain and Canada, is now available in NZ.
The one-piece tag has a wrap-around design that's light enough to be inserted into new-born lambs and strong enough to last for life.
The design of the Shearwell tags means they have exceptional retention rates (over 99.5% in Canadian trials) and are gaining popularity in Australia, Brazil, US and Canada.
Other products include Android and iPhone RFID stick readers, race readers, EID weigh crates and auto-drafters for sheep.
Shearwell NZ has appointed Alistair Barnes, a farmer, as its NZ representative. He has a long history in agribusiness, and thoroughly understands RFID technology and NAIT regulations.
