RFID tags from WLSB are in short supply
RFID tags have historically been supplied at no charge to Wyoming veterinarians. The inventory of available RFID tags, both brucellosis vaccination 840 RFID tags and official 840 RFID tags (yellow, white, etc.) are in short supply. The WLSB has the following updates regarding tag orders:
Brucellosis Vaccination 840 RFID Tags
- Order ONLY what you will use between January 1, 2024 and April 1, 2024.
- Orders will be limited, and we may be unable to fulfill your entire order request.
- WLSB will know more about future RFID tag availability in April 2024.
- It is the goal of WLSB to continue to supply veterinarians with brucellosis vaccination 840 RFID tags.
Official 840 RFID Tags
- These tags are NO LONGER AVAILABLE from WLSB, with the exception of livestock market tag requests.
Where can I purchase 840 RFID tags?
Veterinarians can order both brucellosis vaccination 840 RFID tags and official 840 RFID tags (yellow, white, etc.) from a variety of distributers online. The links below provide some options, but numerous other distributors are available.
Why am I getting calls from clients requesting RFID tags?
Due to the short supply of RFID tags in our office, WLSB staff will recommend that producers order their own official 840 RFID tags or contact their veterinarians for tags.
Can I resell official 840 RFID tags (yellow, white, etc.) to clients that need official ID for their herds?
YES! Just make sure you keep records of to whom the tags are being allocated.
What are the characteristics of an official 840 RFID tag?
- The animal identification number starts with 840.
- There is a US shield on the tag.
