[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 185893, member: 97"] frenchie and cattle annie-- The system you have now in Canada is nothing like the one proposed by NAIS--all you have now in Canada is a tag in the ear that tells you possibly where it was born ( or who put the last tag in on those that fall out) and the birthdate (if you choose to give it)....We already have this up and running for those that choose to use it.....I can do that tomorrow with an RFID tag if I choose- at a cost of $3.00 per head (not counting time and labor)...But if the buyer only gives me $1.00 per head more for the tagged animals- why should I? The NAIS proposal for movement and sale info is much more complex and could create an entire new government bureacracy...As proposed it would require not only a whole new workforce of federal inspectors to inspect, record and track these movements and sales - but an enforcement arm to police those that don't comply.... USDA proposed it with absolutely no idea how to run it or what its going to cost...If the cost will be more than the benefit is it worth it? And unlike Canada's system- the US government is not going to pay any of the cost....... [/QUOTE]
