(October 5, 2020) - On
Monday, the United States Cattlemen's Association (USCA) submitted
comments on the U.S. Department
of Agriculture’s (USDA) proposal to transition to Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) as the official eartag for use in interstate
movement of cattle that are required to be identified by the traceability
regulations.
In the public comment submission, USCA President Dr. Brooke Miller
stated,
"With the growth of a global marketplace, our trading partners will
begin to expect a more comprehensive and transparent national animal
identification system. Using the tenets listed [in our letter], USCA
believes that the Department can work with industry to develop and
establish an animal identification system that works for all
producers."
