[QUOTE="waihou, post: 641010, member: 6511"] Interesting how rules differ from country to country. Here in NZ all cattle must have two tags which must have the herd number from the herd in which they were born, plus a unique animal number and the primary tag must also have a barcoded herd number and it must be yellow! The secondary tag can be any colour, even a button, but it must have the herd number also. We choose to colour code the secondary tag to the year of birth, plus leave it blank under the herd number and write in the sire/dam and year of birth. They can be any size. The tags MUST be present for any trucking or sale and when they go to the abbatoir. These rules are enforced by the Animal Health Board and are are to comply with TB regulations and testing. Therefore all cattle going to shows must have their legal TB tags-so no whipping them in and out. They also are accompanied with a trucking document which states their number and last TB test details. Not quite at cattle passports like UK-but it could be looming-as well as electronic tags. These rules refer to all cattle, dairy, beef, crossbred or pure bred. [/QUOTE]
