2026 Orange Cattle Tags
Looking for the 2026 cattle tag colour? It's orange, letter X. This collection pulls together our Allflex visual and management cattle tags ready to be custom printed for the 2026 season, pick your size, choose male and female parts, and we'll sort the printing. Orders dispatch from Queensland.
2026 year colour and letter, explained in one glance
Cattle tag year colours run on a rotating cycle so you can pick an animal's drop year from across the yards without reading a single number. For 2026 the colour is orange and the year letter is X. Last year (2025) was white with W, and next year (2027) is light green with Y, so an orange tag in the paddock instantly reads as a 2026-drop animal. One thing worth keeping straight: orange on a visual tag means born in 2026, but orange on an NLIS electronic tag means post-breeder, they're two separate systems, so don't let the matching colour throw you. The visual tags in this collection are the ones that follow the year-colour cycle.
Help choosing size, type and printing
The range covers everything from mini and button tags up to large, maxi and super maxi, in two-piece male and female sets plus one-piece A-Tags that go in with a single squeeze. Most producers run a medium or large female with a male stud for breeders, but the right pick depends on your cattle and how far away you want to read them. Custom printing is where the year letter earns its keep, property codes, individual numbers, or whatever management info you run. Not sure what suits your setup? Send through a photo of your current tags or a quick rundown of the herd and we can usually point you in the right direction the same day.
