Hello Horse Trailer, thank you for your comment.

If you are looking for USDA Approved tags, I will have that post up shortly. but below are the direct links to each site in Canada and USA.

If you looking for specfic approved tags for Equine, you will be able to find it at the same USDA link.

Proceed with caution on the USDA site, it is easy to get lost. If you have any specific question, please reply to comment or send me an email.

I have a heifer with no history and I'm hoping to track her ear tag (I beleive its the reyflex FDX) is there anyway I can trace her number?

Thank you for your comment.
If you bought the heifer, you should have the paperwork with some historic records.

It depends, what you want to track, as for animal movement, this is the only thing that is tracked.

I suggest you call the CCIA, have your Premise ID handy, along with the tag ID, they will be able to help you out on historic movement, and birth records.

If you're looking for more detailed management info, i.e. health records, vaccinations, and historic data on the heifer, this is only done with cattle management software.

Hope that gives you a little more info. You can always reach me by email, if you would like me to call you and discuss and explain further.
