Producers and veterinarians ordering official identification tags require a Premises Identification Number (PIN). Producers and veterinarians can order RFID tags from any manufacturer – just make sure they have the USDA shield and start with the numbers 840 to ensure they are official identification. Producers can also order free RFID tags from ISDA by completing an order form or contacting ISDA.
ISDA has several RFID readers available to loan, free of charge, to Idaho livestock producers. The reader rental program is intended to provide producers an opportunity to utilize RFID technology without requiring the purchase of an RFID reader. To request a reader, complete the rental request form.
