K, Get ready for the prices of food to go up. The government is forcing farmers to do a lot more paper work and that is going to add to the cost of every animal which will end up being paid for by consumers. The USDA pretends that the National Animal Identification System (NAIS, pronounced Nazi) is for the purpose of keeping the national food supply safe but if that was the case there would be no need to force this on pet owners, horses and other non-food animals, there would be no need for it to be implemented on homesteaders who are raising chickens for eggs for their own needs or other animals for their own consumption and no need for NAIS to be forced on farmers who sell direct to consumers as they know exactly where they got their food. Learn about this and write your congress critters to let them know how you feel. It is a bad idea that is just going to end up adding burocracy and cost to everything food related. -Walter
