Never Fades™ Medium Pre-Numbered Calf Ear Tags

Buttons Sold Separately Permanent cattle ID. Already numbered. Ready to work. The Ritchey Never Fades™ Medium Pre-Numbered Calf Ear Tags come in sets of consecutively numbered tags, permanently engraved and ready to install without the hassle of engraving tags yourself. Simply choose your number range (such as 1–25 or 26–50) and tag color. Unlike traditional livestock tags that rely on ink, foil, or surface printing, each number is permanently engraved into the tag—not printed onto it. That means the identification won't simply wear or fade away with time. The result? Pre-numbered calf identification proven readable for 15+ years. Medium Never Fades™ tags provide an ideal balance of visibility and size for calves and younger cattle. And because the identification is permanent, the same tag can continue doing its job as the animal grows—making it an excellent choice for calves that may become replacement heifers, breeding stock, or other long-term members of the herd. Tag them young. Read them for years. What's Included: A set of pre-numbered, pre-engraved calf ear tags in your selected number range. Buttons are sold separately.
