EUCAS: Tail tags

The following contains information on each states' requirements for the tail tagging of cattle. Refer to the links below to visit the Department of Primary Industries' website for that state.

In general, the use of lime green tail tags for EU cattle will be reviewed in the near future. Until then, lime green tail tags for EU cattle are still a legal requirement and must continue to be used.
