A third company has been approved to supply cattle tags to farmers. Datamars Agri Ltd can now sell conventional, electronic and tissue tags after receiving final approval last week from the Department of Agriculture. The firm joins Mullinahone Co-op and Cormac Tagging as approved suppliers.
Datamars has entered the market at prices below those of market leader Mullinahone and broadly similar to Cormac Tagging.
Datamars’ visual and tissue tag set is priced at €2.68 including VAT and the 38c ICBF contribution. Its tissue tag and electronic set is priced at €3.95 including VAT and ICBF contribution. Its applicator is priced at €21.90 and the company is giving a free applicator for orders of 100 tags or more.
