Read About Choosing Cattle Identification

Having proper identification on your cattle is essential, especially when they are free grazing or have wandered from their homes.

Things to Consider:

  • Variety –Ear tags come in an assortment of colors. You can either tag all your cattle in the same color, or use color variation to separate pregnant cows, or those that are marked for sale.
  • Medicated Cattle – Tagging cattle that are currently under medication or in any other treatment is helpful, making further treatments quick and easy to identify.
  • Numbered Tags – Numbered tags help you in quick recognition, wherein you can easily identify numbers you are missing from the herd.
