What is wrong with the old system of the breeder/owner/seller signing an affidavit certifying all the items they want ( COOL, date of birth, shots given, feed given, implants/All natural or not, etc. etc.) backed by a handshake between seller and buyer - or a third party verification from a brand inspector that those are your cattle you are verifying????? :???:
Have we all decided there is not enough money already being taken out of the marketing of our cattle that now we have to give some 3rd party profiteer a % out of it :???:
This whole verification system to me- which they go only on info you give them anyway- seems like another shakedown to take bucks out of your pockets to me- especially when they are just verifying what you tell them....
More mandatory ID BS......
