ABOUT FARNAM LIVESTOCK

No one knows the livestock business better than us -- we were born on the farm. Farnam started out in 1946, selling livestock products by mail out of Omaha, Nebraska.

The livestock industry has undergone some dramatic changes since then. And we’re proud to add that some of those changes were ours – such as the introduction of the revolutionary New Z® No-Snag® Tag.

The unique, flexible, one-piece design -- easy, foolproof application system -- and lasting, superior readability quickly became a big hit with cattle producers around the country. And they still are, because they’re the only tags you’ll need for the life of your animals.

The success of the original No Snag Tags led to the introduction of New Z Two-Piece Tags in 1999, featuring the same superior advantages of our proven one-piece design.

Further innovations have included a choice of three ways to mark ear tags: Laser Printing for the ultimate in lifetime readability. And, for easy do-it-yourself numbering, our New Z Tag Marker penetrates deeply into the tag for superb, long-term results.

The latest challenge facing livestock owners is Electronic ID. Individual Animal Identification will soon be mandated by the government, requiring every animal to be tracked from birth to the dinner table.

However, there are many unique advantages to Electronic ID that producers could be literally profiting from right now -- such as age, source and process verification, health management, breeding enhancement and herd production analysis. 

Farnam can custom-build a system to meet any producer’s needs – large or small. One that can grow along with the operation and pay for itself in a very short time.

Just as you can be sure that the livestock industry will continue to change, you can be sure Farnam will continue to develop ever more innovative products to help producers meet those new challenges and grow new business.
