National Cattlemen’s Foundation To Promote Premises Registration



DENVER (Nov. 30, 2007) - The National Cattlemen’s Foundation is the latest livestock organization to partner with USDA to promote premises registration for the nation’s farms and ranches.



The foundation joins a growing list of respected livestock organizations to partner with USDA to promote premises registration. These include American Angus Association, the National Pork Board, the National FFA Organization, and the IDAIRY coalition consisting of Holstein Association USA, the National Milk Producers Federation, the National Association of Animal Breeders, the National Dairy Herd Information Association, the National Dairy Calf and Heifer Association, and the American Jersey Cattle Association.



“At the National Cattlemen’s Foundation, we are committed to efforts that will quickly contain an animal disease, and provide aid to producers in crisis situations, and during natural disasters and other times of need. We want to make sure cattlemen have the information they need to make a decision about registering their premises,” said Bob Josserand, a cattleman from Hereford, Texas, who serves as chairman of the foundation’s board of trustees.



Premises registration is a record of basic information – such as address and phone number – that allows animal health officials to notify a livestock owner quickly when a disease event or natural disaster puts livestock at risk.



“Rapid notification is critical, because the faster animal health officials can reach you as an affected livestock producer, the more quickly you will have the information and assistance you need to protect your animals and your investment,” said Carl Crabtree, a Grangeville, Idaho, cattle producer who chairs the beef industry’s Joint Producer Education Committee.



As the philanthropic arm of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), the National Cattlemen’s Foundation will administer resources to deliver premises registration information to cattle producers.
Information will be conveyed through state cattlemen’s associations, local producer meetings, National Cattleman and state cattlemen’s magazines, and agricultural broadcasts such as NCBA’s Cattlemen to Cattlemen, a weekly television program on RFD-TV.



“These resources will allow the National Cattlemen’s Foundation and NCBA to continue to do what we always do - provide real solutions to producers so they can stay profitable and viable into the future,“ Josserand said.



Registering a premises does not obligate a livestock producer to participate in any additional programs or any further levels of animal identification. NCBA members have an established policy that calls for animal identification to be voluntary, and encourages the use of existing state efforts. Animal movement data must be kept confidential and in private hands - not the government’s. Producers choosing to participate should have the opportunity to do so in a manner that derives additional value from their livestock.

We'll have to wait and see what NCBA's flophouse price was...AAA sold out for somewhere around $550,000 in taxpayer money.... :( :mad:

Premises registration is a record of basic information – such as address and phone number – that allows animal health officials to notify a livestock owner quickly(48 hours) when a disease event or natural disaster puts livestock at risk. Press release.

So I pasture my cattle on open range land ,department of interior ,Whose premies code am I going to USE ,Washington DC.'s ,cause their ain't no mailboxes in a hunderd miles in the desert. You can't even make a premies code as the code relies on a zip code. Besides if I live in Detroit and have never seen the rangeland, all I got is my brand ID. They will never be able to notify me because I bought branded cows in 1 state and pastured them on rangeland in another state that doesn't have a brand law.

Premises registration by the government will never work as their premises code is worthless.

Put it back in the envelope and send it to Ron Paul.

The USDA have a COOL law on the books and they should be spending money on its enforcement instead of making up projects like this to spend money on.

Well, what else is new????

Another round of drivel by the famed "Conspiracy Quintuplets" of ranchersnet!!!

The National Cattlemens' Foundation comprises more people with more talent, experience, and philanthropy which has been used to benefit US cattle producers than you boys could possibly imagine if you spent your entire lifetimes at it!

It is tragic for you, and others who may possibly listen to you, that you are so fearful of efforts to tell people what VOLUNTARY NAIS actually is and why it is needed. That it will benefit those who use it wisely while many of you distrust it too much to do so, is simply a bonus for the wise. Hopefully, that bonus can help to offset the damage done if you prevail and a serious animal health outbreak is painfully slow to control due to your obstruction.

"VOLUNTARY"? MRJ, for God's sake, wake up and smell the coffee. USDA has every intention of making this mandatory despite what they say (that's lying around here) and your NCBA is aiding and abetting that lie. But, NCBA backing the horsecrap from AMI/USDA is just deja-vue all over again.
