[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1839480, member: 16453"] We are about 18 years into it and see it as no great impost and if I really wanted to I could get information back from the processors. Overall the only benefit to me is that it is another form of ID for registering my cows and I need it to sell my cows through the recognized channels and it is a marketing strategy for our export markets. Most producers that are bigger than me and a bit more tech savvy will use it for automatic recording of weights, recording information whenever they work the cattle. Some people have weigh stations in the paddock that cattle step onto and their weights are recorded. There are many management advantages. I know big companies and producers wouldn't be without it. I suspect it would be the same in the US, big outfits would already be using it. Ken [/QUOTE]
