Approved Eartag Manufacturers


Approved tags are available either directly from the manufacturer or through local agricultural merchants and some veterinary surgeons. Below is a list of manufacturers and the currently approved eartags they supply. You should only place orders for primary or secondary eartags with one of the approved suppliers listed below.


Please note that all primary eartags can also be used as secondary eartags. Secondary tags may also be printed to allow space for management information. You should speak to your supplier for details.


Always check for the most up to date information with your ear tag supplier.
