ENDURO TAGS
LIVESTOCK MANAGEMENT TAGS AUSTRALIA
Designed specifically for retention and visibility
Enduro Tags, founded by Dr. John Steinfort in 2011, emerged as a response to the shortcomings observed in NLIS (National Livestock Identification System) ear tagging systems. Driven by a commitment to addressing design flaws, Dr. Steinfort, whose work spanned across Australia, witnessed clients grappling with unnecessary costs and time spent on retagging animals that had lost NLIS Ear Tags in conventional systems. This not only affected traceability but also added an additional task to the already demanding farm schedules.
Enduro Tags, the result of years of dedicated research, development, trials, and testing, boasts a high retention rate and innovation in NLIS farm management. The company takes pride in its products, inviting customers to read online reviews to attest to their effectiveness.
Expanding beyond NLIS ear tags, Enduro Tags now offers farm management tags with a wide range of sizes and shapes to accommodate various breeds in cattle, goats, and sheep.

The aim is to eliminate lost RFID tags and wasted resources.
As an independently owned company based in Warragul, Victoria, Enduro Tags stands out as the sole livestock tag manufacturer in Australia, contributing to the local economy. The company’s tags are designed with an anti-snag feature, incorporating a twin-prong, twin-lock design, which has led to the highest recorded tag retention. Rigorous screening during the production cycle ensures that faulty NLIS tags are not discovered when scanning livestock.
Enduro Tags holds two contracts with ISC Pty Ltd, a statutory body overseeing the NLIS. This system has played a crucial role in enabling Australian livestock producers to access export markets globally. By creating a next-generation livestock tag system, Enduro Tags empowers customers to tag animals at an early age, providing confidence in lifetime traceability through both electronic and visual identification.
