Zusammenfassung:	An animal ear tag is disclosed which includes a component locking member (12) of novel design. The component locking member (12) has an interior passageway which substantially conforms in shape to the post or pin (63) of an ear tag installation tool to stabilize the connection therebetween which prevents slippage or other undesirable movement of the component locking member when installed on the ear of an animal. The component locking member is characterized by a transverse portion (30) having a pair of opposed flanges (32, 34), and a substantially planar rear edge. The planar edge is adapted for contact with an inner surface of a jaw of an installation tool which further provides stabilization between the component locking member and the ear tag installation tool. As an ear tag assembly, the invention utilizes the component locking member and an ear tag panel (14) having a grommet (20) which engages the component locking member (12).
