South Dakota on the Move

SD Stockgrowers Circulate Petition to Stop Mandatory Animal ID

Members of the South Dakota Stockgrowers Association (SDSGA) are asking friends and neighbors across the state to sign a petition opposing the implementation of a mandatory national animal identification program.

“We’re trying to contact all cattle producers who are opposed to the excessive cost and regulation that a mandatory program would include, and asking them to sign our petition. Then we plan to share our petitions with USDA and our elected officials to help them understand the level of opposition in the heart of cattle country,” said Fox.

Fox added that if any producers have not had the chance to sign a petition or would like to circulate one, they may contact Carrie Stadheim at the South Dakota Stockgrowers Association office at 605-342-0429 or carrie.sdsga@midconetwork.com.


Get out there and sign that petition. Let our elected officials know the opposition to this proposal.

An ear tag never stopped a disease, but it sure brings people together in opposition to it.
