We've tried our best to help make designing your own custom ear tag as easy as possible. However, sometimes, tech is tricky. Please see this instructional video - 3D Custom Ear Tag Design Tool
Our 3D ear tag design tool isn't equipped to handle images ... yet. But we can definitely permanently engrave your family's cattle brand on your tag. Simply email us at sales@ritcheytags.com or call us at 1-800-EAR-TAGS so we can help you out. We have a fulltime graphic artist to ensure your brand is correctly drawn and you're happy with how the tag will look.
We offer numerous different color combinations for your ear tags. Since 1964, yellow/black has been our best seller by far followed by white/black, red/white, and black/white.
Production lead times are currently running 3-5 business days for blank tags and less than 4 weeks for custom engraved tags. Once a tag is ready, the amount of time to deliver the tags depends on where you are. Domestic orders will take 5-7 business days to arrive. Overseas deliveries can take anywhere from 7-16 days. Delivery details will be provided in your confirmation email.
