[QUOTE="TXBobcat, post: 219967, member: 94"] I don't think NAIS will solve 100% of the disease and traceback problems, but for us personally, I don't believe we will have to change much from the way we currently do things (except for a little more paperwork). We currently eartag all of our calves, and they are also branded with that tag/private herd #. I do believe NAIS will provide a good deal of reliable traceability for diseased animals, but what about the following scenario: - 50 ranchers sale some calves - those calves are all tagged and documented - the calves are comingled into a feedlot - after they are fed out, they are sent to slaughter - the calves are slaughtered, made into hamburger etc. - someone gets sick from eating some of the beef from this lot of calves, but the resturant doesn't really know which animal(s) was actually the cause. They may have 100's of premises to quarantine and check before they can find anything, which is even more of a hassle for the producer(s). I am for 100% testing at slaughter, then if something is wrong, you have the suspect animal and a tag to trace back to the premises. [/QUOTE]
