CFIA announces de-listing of bar-coded tags

The CFIA recently announced that they will continue with the plan to de-list bar-coded identification tags. Effective July 1, 2010, all cattle moving from their location or leaving the farm of origin will be required to be tagged with an approved Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag.

If you require additional Angus tags to meet these requirements, contact Cheryl at the Canadian Angus Association office, or order your tags online. Remember to order them early as we will be unable to ship tag orders from June 28 to July 1.
