[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1840948, member: 39695"] This is no different than brucellosis Testing and tagging. Except it’s all animals being sold. You don’t think that the back tag that gets glued to the market cow that you sell is attached to your name and address? Of course it is. For several reasons. It’s a way to track zoonotic diseases, but it’s also a way to track down producers who get caught in random residual drug testing at the plants. Back tags are just a temporary identification that is good in theory, but the glue doesn’t always stick or the tags get rubbed off. EIDs are probably coming, not going to stop it. Wether it law or the law of economics. It will happen. If the consumers see it as a good idea the packers will embrace it. Then the trickle down effect begins . If the packers require the feed lots to do it, the feed lots will want the producers to do it. Premiums or discounts however you want to look at it will convince a lot of people to comply or get out.
