[QUOTE="simme, post: 1840842, member: 40418"] The EID tag itself is readable as a 15 digit number. Three of those are a country code. The remaining 12 are an ID number. "[B]They[/B]" know who the tag number was issued to - name and address. That is all "they" know about the tag. No other info in the tag. Any additional infrastructure and use of the "information" would not occur in the "tag" but would occur in separate databases. One common use can occur on the farm. A reader on the chute can read that 15 digit number as each animal goes through the chute. Reader is connected to a laptop with a piece of software (like Cattlemax). The owner can enter into the software shots given, dewormer applied, procedures performed, etc and end up with a record for their herd. Without using a pencil sharpened with a Case knife and without a little red book to be misplaced. Does that seem bad? The range of the signal from those tags is about 18" max. So, can't be read by readers on the highway or from satellites or cell towers. You really got to put out an effort to read the data. Ever notice those little white plastic strips glued onto a box when you purchase a part or an item? Those are RFID tags used to "track" inventory and are the same basic technology as used in these EID cattle tags. Those rfid tags in manufacturing help to store and retrieve products quickly and efficiently and get them delivered quickly. Someone once said something along the lines of "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself". Seems to be a lot of fear. Do any of you microware your credit card to cook the chip? Remember that 3 digit country code in the tag? Seems like people would like that as a tool to identify country of origin. Wonder if those litter boxes have chips in them to verify that all the bathrooms are adequately covered? ;) [/QUOTE]
