Apparatuses for and methods of installing ear tags are provided. One embodiment of the invention is defined as an ear tag installation tool and which makes use of a pair of handle members (12, 14) which control the insertion of an inserting member (30) through an opening formed in the ear of an animal. The inserting member has attached to it a portion of the ear tag during the insertion process. The inserting member may be disposable and separate from the handle members after the insertion process is complete. In a second embodiment, the ear tag installation tool is an elongate tool having a handle (52) and a distal tip for receiving the inserting member. In a third embodiment of the invention, an ear tag installer (110) is provided which has some elements directly attached to the ear tag. The ear tag installer also includes a driving tool (60) which forces the inserting member (114) through the ear. In this third embodiment, the ear tag installation tools of the first and second embodiments can be used as preferred forms of the driving tool. In another embodiment of the invention, the elements of the third embodiment attached to the ear tag can be separately defined as a modified ear tag with inherent installation capability. In yet another embodiment, the distal ends of the handle members may be modified so that biasing forces are used to enhance the method of installing the ear tags.
