[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 588630, member: 3739"] It doesn't surprise me that I got the replies against this age verification system like I did. But I see why Canada needed it, and I think you do too: it's a better way of getting our cattle to go across the border since that's where most of the $$$$ Alberta gets is from exporting cattle to the states. If we didn't get this under place, I think the border would still be closed to Canadian cattle, wouldn't it? Aaron, there was also a group in the states that fought with the government to keep the border to Canadian cattle closed because it imposed on their rights to sell home-grown cattle to slaughter plants or something like that. A lot of producers up around here are like that too, they say the same as you did. And yet they somehow get us cattle producers to fill out census forms every few years for stats on how many cattle are in which province, et cetera et cetera. Does that also apply with the USA? It wouldn't surprise me if it does. (Not saying I'm supporting the gov't here, just playing the devil's advocate). So somehow the gov't still knows about our production records and other things... Funny thing is, there was one producer that had the RFID system to be done on his herd of sheep, and he said that it actually helped him in making better production records and gain more profit because he was better aware of what animals' production status were, boughten or home-grown...something to that effect... You bet Doc, this is a very controversial topic. :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
