[QUOTE="Earl Thigpen, post: 333971, member: 3999"] I guess I'm ignorant or something. This is the first I've heard about the RF tags. NAIS I know about. After reading the posts here I can see why there is an effort to be able to track animals. I don't like the heavy handness the gov't seems to want to use to inforce the requirement - not one little bit. Ok, having said that I don't like the way it's being forced, let me open this up and invite all the crack pots to voice an opposing opinion. Several time in the past I have read [u]in this forum [/u]about producers feeding their animals chicken s___ and animal protein. Each and evry time I read about one of these folks I feel obligated to voice my opposition. The NAIS and RFID tag is DIRECTLY related to this practice. If we as cattle producers can't police our own industry then the government WILL!!!! And they are,it looks like. It has been scientifically proven that BSE originates with the practice of feeding animal protein to cattle yet some of us continue to do so - and openly admit they do- on this forum. To steal one of CB's often used phrases "Put grass in front the cow and a bull behind her". I couldn't agree more. So I don't want to hear all the crying about the cost of RFID tags or NAIS when you all know why this is happening. [/QUOTE]
