Livestock ID why do you keep pushing the ADT or once upon a day NAIS program?   The one thing we came to the conclusion is that due to all these signed trade agreements with foreign nations who are also members of the UN it comes down to the USDA who really now reports to the UN counterpart to open the borders for livestock. Your state vets now report to the OIE. No longer do we have a USA list of diseases, that was changed a few years back to include all disease listed by the OIE.

This whole ADT or NAIS is a givin to open up the borders to help destroy our healthy herds with foreign diseases, so buyer beware. You want FMD  or any other FAD on USA soil then signup for tags, sign up for a government issued premises id and you had better make sure your animals are tracked.

All our hardwork to eradicate disease here in the USA will be for nothing if you think ADT or NAIS will be the answer. Its about opening the borders for livestock. Trade, money what ever you want to call it.  Look at what has  happened between Mexico and  the USA, we are now seeing a rise in human disease that we have lowered the numbers on.
