Sandhusker said:Mike, it's Christmas time and I've got three identical packages under my tree. I ran out of labels and could only labeled two; One package contains a Husker decanter and has "To Jigs" on it. Another is a jug of horse crap from the Dittmer Collection that is labeled, "To Bill". The third has no label, but is a bottle of Maker's Mark for you. Now what would prevent you from correctly picking your gift from under the tree?

I fully understand your analogy and REALLY appreciate the Makers Mark, but there will be literally millions of gifts under the tree when COOL rolls around.
I really think COOL will help the beef industry and I really want it to work, but it's next to impossible to find ranchers who will agree on anything. ID is something that we need to do even without COOL. Especially if we are to export beef.

So how does your system work on herd brands that can be duplicated between herds in different states or countries??

When they go to the feedlots they are usually tagged with the feedlot tags, the numbers are recorded with the brand inspection papers. So if #201 has the same brand as #809 they go to their receivng records and see who had that brand . Not to hard on the feedlots that tag as they usually keep good records as what cattle do good and whos do bad.
What about the 4th gift under the tree? The one with absolutely no markings.
Let's open it up and see!!!!!!!!!!!
Why it's from the girls at the BANK!
There is a card inside saying get your own coffee we have real work to do at the bank when you're wasting bankers time on the internet!
Wait could that be a gift for SANDHUSKER that somehow got under the wrong tree??????????

Kato said:Canadian slaughter cattle don't get branded. Unnecessary stress just before slaughter is just plain mean. I can see peta all over that.
Does every state have brand inspection?
What about a cow who's had three owners in her life and has three different brands?
What about one who's brand got botched? It happens.
Or an assembled load from an order buyer?
Or a calf that loses it's feedlot tag?
?????

Well, let's use some deductive reasoning, Bill.... Canadian cattle get branded "CAN" at the border and Mexican cattle get branded "M", just where the hell could that critter be from?
And yes, it's been slow at the bank. I'd pull up some of Dittmer's writings but we have a BS filter that won't allow that kind of stuff to come thru.
