Australia Animal ID Broken
Livestock ID system not working, says agent
The largest cattle agent at the biggest saleyards in Australia says the National Livestock Identification System equipment is not up to scratch and needs to be replaced.
It has been five months since Queensland's Roma saleyards spent $300,000 upgrading their facilities to cope with the new electronic ID system .
Elders agent Mick Connell says the equipment is not scanning tags properly and it is taking up to a third longer to process cattle.
The USDA keeps holding the Australia system up to us for NAIS. More and more I read and see on TV where the Australia system is broke and needs fixed. So, the USDA is going to saddle us with a broken system just to make the meat packers happy and enslave the farmers and ranchers. How lucky we all are.
Remember, an ID number never stopped a disease, it just cost us producers a lot of money.
