[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 966493, member: 4362"] I hope the Texas Cattlemen's Association fights this tooth and nail. They are trying to get us in compliance with the EU by doing this and believe me we do not want the system they have. They tell us they have such a great system and they can track any animal within 24 hours. This may be the case but they are not considering the cost benefit of doing this. There, you cannot move your livestock without having a health inspector on site at the time of the move. If you move it across county lines then you will need to coordinate with two health inspectors in both counties. You also cannot move the animals yourself but must hire a certified trained livestock hauler to move the animals and they cannot be loaded or unloaded until the health inspector "inspects" the animals at point of loading and point of delivery. I don't know how they even move animals there because here the gov't workers will always be on a holiday, or off on sick leave, training or anywhere but where they are needed by the public. I have a friend who purchased 3 weanling pigs from a fella. Paid him on the spot for the pigs. Went to move them to his place which was across several county lines and three months later his hogs arrived. Poor fella that he bought them from had to feed them for 3 months till the beauracracy could work out such a complicated move. Oh, and forget home slaughter of your own livestock. This isn't happening. Gotta go through the correct channels else the paperwork will be fouled. I hope you guys fight this. We don't need this type of burden placed on our backs especially when it is not needed and when no sane rational business man can justify the cost of such a thing. [/QUOTE]
