[QUOTE="rocfarm, post: 1840814, member: 42715"] Thank you. And if they know all your moves before or as you are making them, then you are at their mercy. This is not smart business, chess, investing, etc. For the localized outbreaks of the nature you mentioned, I’d support mandatory vaccination if someone wanted to sell the cattle out of state. Not sure I’d required it locally, as if everyone knows it’s in the area, then I’d think you’d either ask the seller or just vaccinate them yourself. But why would you need EID for that, though? If you just required an ear tattoo that they’d been vaccinated, that would be sufficient for their protection. But the fact is, once the EIDs are in, then every few years they can require you to put MORE information into those tags. And that tends to be how it works, too. And I get that marking your cattle with a tattoo, tag, or brand is a good idea. I also get that if you are a larger producer, you might need to do this for brand building. All great. But it shouldn’t be required by law. You could strongly encourage it. But when a guy sells crappy cattle at the sale barn, it gets around among the people who matter, anyway. And trust me, the buyers will deal with that ranch the next time around, and I imagine the auctioneer will chip in to help deal with it in a not so obvious manner. There are a lot of other ways to keep things safe without requiring these kinds of information. You know, in Europe, every company must give you a ‘Reject All’ button for every website you visit where those companies can’t track you, can’t sell your information to someone else, etc. Just saying the US should give us the same options to the people across all sections of our lives. When did our privacy become so worthless? [/QUOTE]
