Thanks for the comments, I don't feel so alone now...I am not against tracking animal moovements through stockyard/auction houses, which is already done in most places. But why do I need to tag animals for my own consumption,and my direct to consumer freezer beef/pork/poultry buissness? I have immidiate traceback, my customers know where the animal is grown, how it is grown and can come out and tour/ inspect my farm at any time. The butchers we use also know the customers and are very good about making sure they stay happy( Cleanlyness, and cutting suggestions).Also most of the desease in this country is IMPORTED. the need of stricter importation rules needs to be pushed. another speaker at the town hall was a retired vetrinary professer from Uof M that is also a animal pathologist that was talking about how Bovine TB Will not be any easier to control with NAIS...In fact he spoke criticly of the michigan policy of depopulating a farm that have one cow test positive or (reactor) to a tb test with no further testing of the herd..all the rest are guilty by association. Part of the NAIS has a statement about" depopulation without compinsation"I don't know about the rest of you , but that sounds a little like unreasonable search and sizure of my personal property..which is one of the reasons I belive the program went from manditory to volintary...because as a voulintary program(contract) you cannot appeal it to the supreme court, and it has no congressional oversite. Just a few things to ponder, and if you don't like the program please spred the word to your neghbors and friends and write your elected officials and let them know where you stand,and be persistant, if you like the program then go for it, but do not force it on the rest of us who don't want or need it. just my 2c ..Thanks again shawn
