Tag Prices

The new EID tagging system being brought in for sheep will likely mean that the price for RFID chips will drop across the range. This means that our Dog, Horse and Cat identifiers will come down in price because of the high number of RFID chips being ordered by Irish farmers.


I've put together a table of some of the current prices quoted by tag suppliers for the farmers market as I called around.


QuickTag
Slaughter 18c
EID €1.30

Mulinahone
Slaughter 18c
EID €1.30
Applicator €22

EliteTags
Slaughter 15c
EID €1.19
Applicator €6.37

Agrihealth
Slaughter 34
EID 1.30

Ritchey Tag
Slaughter 25c
EID €1.33

At the moment it seems EliteTags ( http://elitetagsireland.com ) are out in front. We should hope for prices to continually drop and we'll soon see our dog tags costing as much as it would to have "Fido" printed on the front!!!
