Division of Animal Industry Tagging Sites

This Division of Animal Industry (DAI) data layer is being used in the web map here, where you can learn more about identification tags, approved tagging sites, and cattle identification. The Florida Cattle Identification Rule is intended to improve the state’s ability to trace diseased animals, prevent disease spread in an animal disease emergency, and protect the marketability of Florida cattle. Cattle owners can apply official identification tags themselves or have their cattle tagged at an approved tagging site. A variety of official identification tags can be purchased through an animal health product supplier. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Uniform Eartagging System tags can be obtained, at no charge, through the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS).
