You can use an AllFlex or YTex tagger but it is critical that you have a Ritchey Tool Pin installed on your tagger to use the Ritchey Clover buttons with your Ritchey ear tags. This is why: https://youtu.be/miHU9ntRiAU

Yes, Ritchey’s Universal Tags are designed to work with most major button systems.  It’s important that the brand of the tagger and button are the same so if you're using an AllFlex button you must use an AllFlex tagger or YTex tagger with YTex buttons. Please watch this explaination: https://youtu.be/miHU9ntRiAU

The Ritchey "Clover" button is incredibly durable. They can fail in extremely cold weather if you attempt to insert a warm button in a frozen tag. However, 99% of the time, a broken button usually means you're using the wrong tool pin. Ritchey "Clover" buttons MUST be installed with a Ritchey tool pin. See this video for a detailed explanation on why https://youtu.be/miHU9ntRiAU

Yes, it is an additional charge but we can engrave on both sides of the Ritchey ear tags. You can elect to add text on the back on when ordering from the product page.

The Ritchey large tags are ideal for mature cattle, cows, and bulls.  Medium tags are a perfect size for calves.  Small tags are designed for calves too, but can be used on other small livestock.

Yes, a phone number can be added to the back of the dog tags.

Ritchey tags can only be engraved to expose a single color layer in the center of the tag. That layer is either black or white depending on the tag color.

Yes, we can engrave most patterns or graphics.

No, the engraving on Ritchey tags will never fade. The engraving is permanent and will remain visible for the life of the cow and we back it with a lifetime warranty.

Yes, we guarantee that the engraving on Ritchey tags will never fade or rub or peel off.
