With all the press raised about the seven cattle mix up at Swifts Grand Island plant . The SDSG and R-CALF have pointed out the need for a National Animal Identification System for the USA's cattle herd. To properly implement M'COOL it is imperative the the USA have a M'ID system inplace to ensure US cattle are not co-mingled with superior stock from Canada.
No what it proves is you canuckle heads are not complying with the law,why should we be burdened with a worthless MID mandate because you canuckle heads are not complying(branded "CAN")with the import/export laws ?
We have to watch you dam canuckle heads like a hawk,if you aint trying to run contraband cattle south,you are trying to make replacements out of subsidized feeders.
We dont need MID,the USDA needs a means of tracking imports.....................good luck
