I do not think
the government will ever go with a collars because of the
ease of being
able to move the collar from one animal to another. I wonder
what the LaMauche
(spelling) {the goats with little or no ears) are doing?
I would not be
surprise if the complete system finally ends up with
breeders/producers
using implants of some sort.

person consuming it, too. I hope they consider-->What effect
does it have on
the animal, if any or the human that consumes it?
Anybody else
heard about it?
The main speakers
in NC- a vet representing a large primarily, poultry
industry; State
Farm Bureau on behalf of their insured members; the guy
the rumen bolus
and another industry biggie.
They did
reiterate that technology wasn't part of the discussion. ie. ear
So, even with my
little herd, if I chose to sell even one lamb, I would need
The ear tags
really suck. All the sheep have big holes in their ears, it's
wonder the tags
are still remaining at all. Anybody use collars? I'm
thinking like the
German Shepherd and his rabies id tag. Seems much more
