first be required, identifying each place of

production. Individual Animal ID would soon

follow.

How should individual producers prepare for Mandatory Animal ID?

  • Document the origin of every animal on your place. You can use the following to get started: - 3.) Vet and Feed Records – buy an 88 cent notebook and write down any pertinent information. Record the serial and batch numbers on any vaccine you administer, as well as the date and what group of cattle received it. - 4) Any others items you feel are inportant to tracking the animals in your operation.

How should individual producers prepare for Mandatory Animal ID?

  • ID all animals. Start with eartags. A permanent tattoo in the ear would be a wise investment.
  • Develop an on-farm record keeping system.
  • Get as much information as possible in regard to future purchases.
