[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1840850, member: 19817"] Difference I see between the poultry and beef industry's is the distances the animals travel. Poultry are typically born, raised, and slaughtered in a small radius with good records kept of where they came from. Making it possible to "pinpoint the farm" as you say. My last group of feeder steers went from my house, 340 miles across 3 states to the sale barn, where they were bought and traveled to a feedlot another 300 miles thru 2 more states. Where they went to slaughter from there? Who knows. So without a tag how would anyone "pinpoint the farm" if a disease outbreak were to happen? [/QUOTE]
