[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 12619"] Well, I agree with most of the above comments, the USDA is trying to pass legislation that will call for permanent ID tags, Now when thinking of a permanent ID, I do NOT think of a radio sensitive ear tag, Ear tags fall out, ears get torn etc.. Why on earth dont they adopt the AVID chip currently used in Small Animals and horses, the data can be changed as needed when ownership changes, and a small history of the animal can be entered in a nation wide system, we don't need to spend millions of dollars researching what a good system might be, one already exists they just need to implement it. And all those old farts who still won't follow BQA guidlines for herd health managment practices, will go broke or die and be eliminated from the current beef production chain. There are lots of retired folks out there and some young folks too, that are very interested in developing herds to raise quality beef animals, they are getting educated and learning what it takes and the neccessary measures to follow to produce quality healthy beef aniamls, that meet todays beef standards. Proper herd managment eliminates having downer cows, sire selection for calving ease, and mouthing cattle anually to insure they are capable of surviving with existing forrage conditions, and propper culling of older females, as well as sub-optimal bulls.
