Order Tags & Accessories

Nationally approved tags for dairy cattle are required by the Health of Animals Regulations in Canada. The tags are durable, tolerant to temperature changes and designed to work with the shape of the animal’s ear. As a result, there is less risk of ripping, breaking and catching on tag traps.

Unique Identification

Once you have your DairyTrace account number and your Premises ID, you can order tags. Every 15-digit ear tag ordered is specifically allocated to the purchasing producer and tags cannot be exchanged or borrowed between family members or friends.

New to DairyTrace

While dual tagging is optimal, DairyTrace has introduced a white single button RFID tag that may be used to identify calves born on a dairy farm that are destined to leave the farm at a young age for purposes other than dairy production.
