USAHA recommends mandatory ID for cattle breeding herd

The National Assembly of the U.S. Animal Health Association (USAHA) this week approved a resolution recommending national animal identification become mandatory for the U.S. cattle breeding herd. The USAHA's Livestock Identification Committee approved a similar resolution as well. That's according to Dr. Sam Holland, state veterinarian for South Dakota, who attended the Association’s annual meeting in Minneapolis.


All fine and dandy for them, are they the ones going to be paying for the ID program? No. If they were having to pay for it they would be viewing this a little differently.
