Where to Buy 840 RFID Tags
Before purchasing official 840 RFID tags, please check with the seller to make sure the tags selected are approved for use in the intended animal species.
Please also note that matched 840 tags or other custom orders will result in longer delays due to their production complexity. In addition, producers using RFID with dairy herd management software should make certain to order half duplex (HDX) low frequency (LF) RFID tags and not full duplex (FDX) LF RFID tags or ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID tags.
Finally, when applying tags to animals, be sure to use a tagger appropriate for the type of tag being used.
