But it can't ID any individual animal as to who it is with a premise brand.PORKER said:Bill,The ScoringAg database handles every kind of data that you deam useful,such as brands tatoos etc.
With all due respect mandatory RFID seems alot more certain to me.
Hey Mike, I don't know the exact numbers myself but be sure not to confuse the bar code dangle tag retention rate with the RFID button tag.Mike said:Bill:With all due respect mandatory RFID seems alot more certain to me.
I was reading a study for the Canadian ID program just yesterday. The "Readability and Retention Rate" for the RFID program was 85%.
We might do good with a "Herd (hot iron) Brand" or ear tattoo plus an RFID tag. If the calf lost the tag, we would still know which ranch he came from.
I used the RFID tags last year plus an ear tattoo in each ear. Right ear for herd brand, Left ear for individual ID number.
Just a thought.

Why not herd letters and individual ID both in the same ear as Canadian purebred cattle have been done for decades?

It was 85% for the RFID's.
We use both ears in case they lose one. :wink:
In this area the rustlers cut off both ears. Cowboy

I guess your system don't work at all then.
