Y-Tex 840 USDA HDX EID ear tags are compliant with USDA animal traceability requirements, may be used for interstate commerce, and are required at some shows, fairs, and auctions. Unique 15-digit ID numbers are stored in and printed on each single-use, tamperproof Half-Duplex (HDX) tag. Your farm premise ID number is assigned to the tag number series being shipped to you, and the information is held in the NAIS database. Each tag can be visually verified by looking at the printed tag ID number or be automatically verified with use of a reading device. HDX tags are the best choice when tags will be read using a walk-through reader or in a packing plant, because of their greater read range. Apply with Y-Tex Ultra Tagger Plus for EID & Tamperproof Tags.
Ensure lifelong readability with Y-Tex’s exclusive 100% PureLaser™ imprinting, guaranteed for the life of your animal.
Please provide your 7-character alpha/numeric Federal Premise ID number (PIN), farm name, and complete address when ordering.
You can also use the tag ID to track animal-specific information for use in herd management.
