[QUOTE="AngusLimoX, post: 334968, member: 3319"] There must not be much in common with our program and what they are proposing down there. All's we have to do is tag them before they leave the farm. Then herd of origin is established. Auction barns and abbatoirs require them. Other than that once they leave my place I have no responsibilities other than making sure they got a tag before they head down the road. No reporting or crap like that. I don't want to make this a Canada / US finger pointing thing, not why I posted. But we have gone through BSE and had our markets severly restricted. Having all of those animals Id'd, herdmates id'd etc, sometimes within hours - that sure looked good on us. Our consumers thought so, as did watchers on in the world. I say this as a friend to fellow cattlemen - don't get too far behind. Change is coming at a rate we cannot anticipate. And it is all about environment, food safety, ecological agriculture, sustainability, traceability - you know all the catch words. Well those catch words are going to drive the economy and steer governments. This is my last post on this thread, so I will end it with this. Knowing when people are trying to do something for you , and when they are trying to do something to you is important. Picking your fights, choosing your battlegrounds. Making the tagging of cattle mandatory and setting up the administration to make it work is something our government did for us, not to us. ( For once! ). ALX [/QUOTE]
