[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 168069, member: 97"] [b]I stole this from another website- this is what someone was reporting about what was covered at the R-CALF convention:[/b] Animal ID- Panel members included: an Australian who related the Australian disaster on ID. Cost(which the government will not report) and VERY inaccurate data caused by non-readings of RFID tags were high on the list. This man said the government came to him looking for some certain cattle that the database had as his, but he had sold. He read the tags accurately (double checked) but the packer did not. Therefore the database showed them as still his and the health inspectors (he referred to them as the tag police) were looking for them. He showed them the check he got when he sold them, but that wasn't good enough. He says animal health professionals working for the government no longer work on actual animal health issues, but have been reduced to tag police. A Man from USDA (who works on NAIS). He basically told the audience that USDA has heard concerns and it was NOT going to grant the bovine database to a single consortium. And that in deference to certain states with certain laws there would be none of those states' data turned over to private databases. [b]This may shoot down NCBA's plan to administer the whole database for all animals for the government- at whatever cost they want to charge[/b] :) [/QUOTE]
