I registered, its voluntary now but the day is fast approaching when it will be required to have to market livestock. I'm a devout liberatarian, but this is about protecting our industry. If we have an outbreak of mad cow, our customers demand to know where that animal has been. If we get hoof and mouth loose here, we nave to be able to contain an stop the disease. Its all about professionalism. We in animal agriculture are part of the industry of meat production. That cow isnt just your source of income, its someone elses food. No farm is an island. For example, this week, my neighbor who runs his bull year round with his cows had his bull come visiting. He just has a few cows, and does have a decent bull but now I get calves coming at the wrong time of the year (and with me laid up for the next 2 months its not like I can get him out). Plus everything his cows are exposed to mine are exposed to. Maybe if we get with national tracking and id we can get the people who still want to manage there cattle like it was the 1950's to get with the program or get out. It took farm id tracking, ear tagging and monitoring, and mandatory vaccination to eradicate brucellosis back in the 80's but we did it. Would have happened sooner if everyone got with the program. As it was, it took 10 extra years and cost us all a lot of money to do it.
