Ritchey Write-On Calf Tag – Affordable, Easy-to-Read ID
This is a two-piece tag. Buttons sold separately.
Not every operation needs a tag built to last the lifetime of the animal. That’s why Ritchey developed a reliable, cost-effective write-on calf tag—giving dealers a price-friendly option alongside our permanent tags.
Designed with a longer neck, this tag hangs below the calf’s hairline, making identification clearer and easier to read through weaning. Ranchers get flexibility, and dealers get a proven seller for shorter-term ID needs.
Key Details for Dealers & Customers:
-
Style: Write-on, two-piece design, installs with most major button systems.
-
Ideal Use: Calf ear tags for short-term identification.
-
Other Applications: Equipment labels, garden tags, and other situations where an economical ID solution is preferred.
-
Best-Selling Colors: Yellow and White.
-
Size: Medium – 4 ½" tall x 2 ¼" wide.
-
Made in the USA: Manufactured in Colorado since 1964.
👉 Stock both ends of the market: permanent tags for lifetime ID, and Ritchey write-on calf tags for short-term needs.
