Livestock EID Tag Reader

Does anyone have knowledge of a RFID reader for the 134.5khz circle tags that people put in cattle or sheets ear. I understand there is one made in aussy and have contacted him but I was wondering if someone knew of something more Arduino focused.

It needs to read a tag less than 12” awayand send the tag number to an arduino.

The ID-12LA RFID Reader could possibly be what you are looking for

Digikey have some RFID reader modules but they are for 134.2khz. Not sure if they will work as well with 134.5khz. A quick check on Sparkfun and their modules all seem to be for 125khz.

Ooops - need glasses. You are right

There are some for sale on AliExpress that claim to be for 134.2khz but it's a gamble whether they will work or not.
