Tag sourcing fit
What this tag type is designed for
Livestock RFID ear tags in this category are intended for animal identification workflows where electronic RFID reads and visual identification both matter.
The right sourced tag can support sheep, goats, cattle, swine, and similar livestock workflows when the reader, attachment, environment, and record system are designed together.

Representative tag specifications
These specifications describe representative tag options for this application category. Available models and specifications can change by supplier. Rocket RFID confirms the final tag and specifications before quoting or deployment.
| Frequency / protocol | UHF 860-960 MHz, ISO 18000-6C compliant |
|---|---|
| Read range | Typically 1-6 m depending on reader quality and environment |
| Material | TPU housing |
| Durability | Waterproof, weatherproof, and tear-resistant |
| Temperature range | -40 C to +60 C depending on variant |
| Chip options | Compatible with Alien H3/H4 or EM4305 |
| Memory | EPC + TID memory greater than 96 bits |
| Printed ID | Laser-etched human-readable barcode or QR code options |
| Typical dimensions | Flag tag approximately 98 x 28 mm; button part approximately 28 mm |
| Attachment | Two-part flag-and-button system for standard applicators |
Actual read range depends on reader, antenna, RF power, animal position, tag orientation, surrounding animals, and the farm or chute environment.
RF and mounting
Material, mounting, and read-point considerations
Use this tag type when a livestock workflow needs passive UHF reads plus a visible identifier for barn, chute, gate, inventory, or health-record workflows.
Review before rollout
- Read performance depends on animal movement, reader angle, antenna placement, tag orientation, and distance.
- Fixed-reader gates and chutes need testing with representative animal flow, spacing, and read speeds.
- Handheld workflows should account for operator distance and how consistently the tag can be presented to the reader.
Testing guidance
Important limitations
- Do not assume regulatory animal-ID compliance without confirming the applicable program and tag requirements.
- Attachment method and animal handling process should be reviewed before rollout.
- Passive UHF is not continuous GPS tracking.

Connect the tag to the right RFID workflow
A sourcing page can narrow tag selection, but the final choice should be validated with the reader, antenna, software record, asset material, environment, and operating process.
