You're just a few years behind us up here in the Great White North. We've had NLID (National Livestock ID) now for several years. They've got it down now that every animal must be tagged with a Radio Frequency ID (RFID)tag. If it changes hands, there's paperwork and a fee. If it's not tagged, you just plain can't sell it.... or at least get caught sellig it.... It's that simple. Supposed to be about food security, traceability, yada, yada, yada.... It's about money and control. Period.

The worst part is that here in Nova Scotia, it's been decided that a "producer organization" will collect a "levy" for "promotion and research purposes, for the betterment of the industry". This is largely being driven by a few producers pining to have a new "structure" rather than an old useless association near death and bankruptcy.
So, to do this you go to government with your old organization and ask to hold a plebicite to form this new organization with it's powers and controls. Your necessary vote is not achieved, but then you go to cabinet and get approval for it anyway because it's for the betterment of the industry, and you and the government do know better! That's how things get done! To hell with what the majority of producers want.

Give it time. These are the first steps. You'll catch up to the forward thinkers up here.... Unless you're able to get it stoped. Good luck.
