From cattle-industry-associations policy positions to amendments of current federal rules and federal-funding discussions, there seems to be as much confusion as ever as to what the heck is going on with animal identification and traceability. I for one know that it’s incredibly hard to keep up with all the different topics that have occurred and it’s my full-time job!
