Management tags for cattle, printed or blank

Pick the tag system first

Each brand's female and male parts are made to go together, and each brand has its own applicator. Pick one system and stay with it across the herd. Allflex runs female sizes from small to super maxi, plus one-piece A-Tags. FOFIA runs female management tags in medium, large and extra large with a blank male button, plus a one-piece maxi. Shearwell's BOS range comes as female and male visual tags, a button male, and matched pairs.

Printed or blank

Printed tags come back with your numbers, PIC or a name, set out the way you choose on the product page. Blank packs suit anyone who writes tags by hand with a tag pen, or who needs a few replacements between print runs. Year colours follow the national cycle, so 2026 is orange and 2027 is light green for management tags. Breeder NLIS tags stay white and post-breeder tags stay orange whatever the year.

Size for the job

Bigger tags read from further back in the race and suit mobs you check from the ute. Smaller tags suit calves and dairy herds where the ear is smaller. If you're replacing lost tags, match the size and brand already in the herd so the numbers line up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need visual tags if I already use NLIS tags?

NLIS tags are the legal electronic ID. Visual management tags are optional, but most producers add one so they can read an animal's number without a reader.

Can I mix brands in one ear?

Keep the female and male parts from the same brand. Each brand's parts are made to lock together.

What colour are 2026 management tags?

Orange, letter X. 2027 is light green, letter Y. Cattle NLIS tags don't follow the year cycle: breeder is white, post-breeder is orange.
