Shawn, I raise cattle and horses in Middle Tennessee. I have not yet signed up, but it is going to be mandatory eventually. My biggest concern right now is that they are calling for radio- frequency ID tags in the animals. When I take an animal off my farm, or when someone else brings an animal onto my farm, I will be required to log that movement with USDA via the internet. However, to do that, I have to be able to read the code off the radio-frequency ID tag on the animal. That code is not the same as the Premises ID code that is assigned to the farm where the animal resides. It is a different code, one that the farmer who puts the RFID tag into the animal doesn't know unless he has a reader to read it when he puts the tag into the animal. Currently, that RFID reader costs about $700.00. I'm hoping that USDA will come up with a more affordable alternative. Tom in TN
