Due to a supply chain issue with the production and distribution of swine 840 RFID tags (radio-frequency ear tags with 15 digit individual identification number that starts with 840), the swine exhibition quarantine order will be amended to allow the use of either 840 RFID tags (for those who have them) OR NEUS tags (the silver metal tags that start with 23 in PA and then have either 2 letters and 4 numbers or 3 letters and 4 numbers).The use of NEUS tags will only be permitted for swine exhibitors until SEPTEMBER 15, 2022. 

Swine for exhibition in PA are still NOT ALLOWED to be identified with a non-RFID 840 tag (a 15 digit tag that cannot be red with a RFID reader)
