All cattle must be tagged with an approved RFID tag. Please leave existing bar-coded tags in animals.
Requirements for producers:
Leave the bar-coded tag in AND apply an RFID tag to the same animal. Cross-reference the RFID tag with the bar-coded tag in the Canadian Livestock Tracking System (CLTS).
Please Note:
Tampering with and/or cutting out an approved
tag is prohibited by regulations.
To cross-reference your tags or for more information, contact the CCIA office at 1-877-909-BEEF (2333)
