[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1253459, member: 4362"] Some of you may recall the last push by the USDA to make us track every animal from birth to table. Some may remember all the fuss over this and many thought it was a good idea. Some will remember how the USDA and the other idiots in DC touted that the UK had a wonderful system that worked so well and they could trace tainted meat from the store shelves to the producer in just 24 hours and WE needed to the same else we would face trade sanctions and the cattle industry in the US would go down the tubes. I think it was last year there was a big scandal in the UK about horse meat being sold as ground beef yet to my knowledge they still haven't figured out where this meat came from. But what we do know and what the producers know in the UK is it takes an act of congress to move an animal from one field to another. You must get a permit or permits if its going to another county. The health inspector must be at the loading and unloading of the animal and you must be a trained and certified livestock hauler to drive the vehicle carrying the livestock and you can't do it yourself. Seems to me that Canada and Mexico are doing us a favor because we surely don't need this kind of regulation. But true, like any liberal would say, it would create jobs. High paying government jobs.
