Common Questions

What is an 840 cattle tag?

A USDA 840 cattle tag is an official United States animal identification tag used for livestock traceability. The number on the tag starts with 840, which is the international country code for the United States. These tags are regulated by the United States Department of Agriculture under the Animal Disease Traceability (ADT) program. 

New USDA 840 tags are:

  • RFID electronic tags (HDX or FDX) with the 840 prefix 
  • Matched RFID + Visual sets with the 840 prefix

Example:
840 003 123 456 789

What is a Premises ID Number?

A premises identification number (PIN) or location identifier (LID) is a unique code that is permanently assigned to a single physical location. A PIN or LID allows animal health officials to quickly and precisely identify where animals are in the event of an animal health or food safety emergency.

To order USDA 840 Tags from any vendor you will need an assigned Premises ID.
