⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Wilkins - Large-Scale Dairy Farm
"We’ve been using the Pro Model RFID + QR code ear tags across our 800-head dairy operation since February 2025, and the integration with our herd management software has been seamless. The military-grade chemical resistance is no exaggeration—tags remain intact even after repeated exposure to disinfectants and milking parlor cleaners. Scanning success rates are near 100%, and the custom Pantone colors help us instantly identify lactation groups. Worth every penny for industrial-scale tracking."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emily Tran - Family Ranch (12 Cattle)
"As a small farm owner, I needed something affordable but reliable. The Base Model TPU ear tags arrived in March 2024 and have exceeded expectations. I love that they’re color-coded—I use yellow for calves and blue for breeding stock—and the laser-printed IDs haven’t faded, even through winter storms. They’re flexible enough not to hurt the calves’ ears, and I appreciate the CE certification for peace of mind. Easy to attach and reusable when rotating animals for vet checks."Purchase Date: March 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Dr. Alan Briggs - Livestock Health Research Program
"We trialed three types of ear tags for a bovine health monitoring study starting in October 2024. The Advanced Model with 12-digit alphanumeric codes and 8-color options stood out for group categorization efficiency. Researchers could visually identify treatment cohorts at a glance, and the TPU material held up better than PVC alternatives during frequent handling. Only minor issue: one tag cracked during extreme cold snap (-20°C), likely due to improper installation. Overall, highly effective for mid-scale research operations."Purchase Date: October 2024 | Usage Period: 4 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sofia Ramirez - Mixed-Use Homestead
"I wasn’t sure if these were only for cattle, but the supplier confirmed suitability for bovines of all sizes. I bought the Base Model in January 2025 for my two heifers and three growing calves. The flexible TPU adapts as they grow—no sign of tearing or irritation. I wipe them down monthly with a damp cloth as recommended, and the codes stay sharp. The embedded URL led me to a helpful PDF guide on setting up a simple digital log. For under $30, this system beats paper records any day."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Daniel Park - Regional Livestock Distribution Center
"We manage transfers for over 2,000 head annually. Since switching to KED’s Pro Model tags in November 2024, our traceability compliance has improved dramatically. The dual RFID and QR code system allows both automated scanning at gates and manual checks with smartphones. Tags have survived transport, rain, mud, and ammonia-rich barn environments without failure. Custom laser printing lets us embed batch numbers and origin codes—critical for audit trails. This is the future of livestock ID."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months

Dr. Linda Foster - Veterinary Biometrics & Herd Management Consultant
"After evaluating over a dozen ear tag systems, I recommend KED Factory’s TPU-based models for their optimal balance of durability, safety, and functionality. The Pro Model’s integration of RFID with QR codes sets a new benchmark for traceability in high-throughput operations. For smaller farms, the Base Model offers exceptional value with its CE certification and reusable design. The flexibility of TPU reduces tissue trauma, which is often overlooked in rigid plastic tags."
Mark Ellison - Farm Efficiency & Resource Management Expert
"What sets these tags apart is their long-term cost efficiency. Unlike disposable plastic tags, the reusability and UV/chemical resistance of TPU mean fewer replacements and less waste. For farms aiming to improve sustainability metrics, KED’s solution supports both economic and environmental goals. I especially recommend the color-coding strategy for improving daily management workflows."

"Tags are great overall, but older staff struggle to read the 8-digit codes from a distance. A larger font option would be ideal. Still, much better than our old metal tags."
