[QUOTE="SEC, post: 219061, member: 3241"] Just view the program like keeping good books. Up here we were a little shy of the idea at first, now we're in the swing of it. Price of the tags is just the biggest pain right now. Plus, most people tag cows/ bulls that are going for slaughter as they are going to market. Commercial calves get done as they are born, just simpler or at least at branding time. Amidst all of the pain, I do believe it's a good thing as it brings accountability to everyone. I have nothing to hide and I don't want to be pulled down if some jerk has decided that he is going to break the rules. I haven't heard any stories like that but there are rulebreakers everywhere. Secondly, I wish they would test everything as then it don't matter if a cow had BSE she would never get into the feed chain. Consumer confidence is what this is all about. If they feel better so do I! I am not sure what we can really go with our corrupt packing industry. I had a cattle buyer tell me he liked it better when the mafia controlled the industry. He said now it's way past criminal. I would like to see farm groups work on that rather than being protectionists! [/QUOTE]
