[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1840800, member: 25884"] [USER=42715]@rocfarm[/USER] ; Not sure what dairy rules they are trying to use on cow/calf operators... The mandatory EID tags are for "SUPPOSEDLY" , better traceability of cattle for the very unlikely there is a disease outbreak.... ALL THIS IS, IS MORE ABOUT CONTROL.... and it will go the direction of the same lines of the new "PET TAX" they are trying to implement in CO.... It is all about wanting to KNOW more about your business than they need to know... so they can tie it in with the Carbon/Air quality/Green new deal/ and all that garbage... this way they can come along and say you have too many cows and they are making too much CO2 with their belching and cow farts... and that you need to start "sharing" them with your less fortunate neighbors because you do not need that many... As far as the Bangs Vaccinations... because there is Brucellosis in Bison herds, proven through blood tests on the Yellowstone herd.... among others I am sure... and it can be passed fairly easily... the whole thing about having them vaxxed is to prevent them from carrying it.... and for the whole thing Dave was talking about with the cows at the sale out there... only being allowed to be sold in state if not bangs'd... to prevent them from carrying it out of state to other herds... since it will not necessarily kill a cow but becomes a vector to carry it to other animals... it perpetuates the problem...
