Important Note!
After September 1, 2023, all tag activations must be using white dairy tags only.
As per proAction requirements, calves born on a dairy farm after this date must have white DairyTrace tags applied at birth, even if they are destined for purposes other than dairy production.
This will also include other retagging scenarios on farm, such as the use of the white single or a dual tag set instead of a yellow button tag for cull cows when a tag is lost. Dual tagging is the recommended best practice and is always encouraged for all animals in case of tag loss.
The change applies to all provinces except Quebec, where dual tagging of all dairy animals has been a longstanding requirement.
