About Us
Who We Are
At Muddy Creek Tags, we understand how challenging acquiring quality tags can be. Whether you own a few show cattle or operate a 100,000-head facility, the need for quality identification tags remains the same. And we are here to help fill that need. From the size, to the design, to the markings and materials, we’ve thought about every aspect of the Muddy Creek Tag and optimized it to provide producers with a better solution.
The Tag Making Process
Muddy Creek Tags are manufactured in Nebraska - the heart of cattle country. By producing our tags locally, we have the unique opportunity to understand market trends and ever-changing demands. Our tag design is rooted in years of experience in the industry that have led to understanding the pros and cons that livestock producers face. We took those lessons and used them to engineer a tag better suited for you. The Muddy Creek Tag not only has an optimal hanging height, but it maintains one of the largest tag faces in the industry. The tag neck has a tapered body, allowing for better rigidity in any environment.
A tag is nothing if it is not readable. We have engineered a proprietary material blend that offers a clean contrast between management data and the tag color. This blend is combined with a weathering compound made to withstand the harshest of environments.
Our tags are then laser marked to meet each producer's specific needs. An optional ink layer can be printed on top of the laser marking for enhanced durability, added visibility and higher color contrast.
If you don’t like the laser marking, we also offer customized solutions to only print the ink layer if that is a better fit for your operation.
Tags can also be purchased blank. They are compatible with most popular tag pens on the market for quick and easy marking.
Lead Times
Currently, lead times in the industry range from 6-20 weeks - leaving producers stuck with off-the-shelf numbering systems or resorting to fast-fading hand-marked tags. At Muddy Creek Tags, we have streamlined the ordering process to break down lengthy lead times by creating a quick and easy ordering system.
As the producer, you can select your layout from our pre-built templates and quickly fill in your content. If our standard templates don't fit your content needs, we will work with you to customize a layout tailored to your operation.
From there, your tags will be marked and shipped as fast as possible!
