RAAA Now Offers Non-Program 840 EIDs

Posted November 19, 2024

RAAA now offers 840 EIDs for purchase that can be used for non-value-added program cattle, suitable for use with bulls, cows and calves. Bags of 20 are available for $60 and applicators are $40.

To purchase, you need a premise ID from your State Animal Health office. Find more information on obtaining a premise ID here.

840 EIDs are an accepted form of permanent identification with RAAA. One of these secondary identifiers must accompany it:

  • Dangle tag present in either ear with the corresponding EID number and/or animal ID number.
  • Tattoo (with Herd Prefix and individual animal ID)
  • Brand (with Herd Prefix and individual animal ID)
  • DNA sample on file

To order, email the registration department at data@redangus.org with tag quantity, account number and premise ID.

Note: These tags are not tied to any of the value-added tags programs through RAAA. For more information on enrolling in those programs or eligibility, contact tags@redangus.org.
