Note: Just to be clear, we do not have the documents on this yet but choose to put this out now as by the time we get the documents this program will probably already be several weeks old according to Dr. Taylor Woods. This is what we have been told as of this morning 12/07/09.

Red Alert! Well, it seems we are finally here, USDA is finally mandating NAIS. Of course, they don’t call it NAIS. It is animal tracing or food safety or whatever convenient label to fool you. It’s is NAIS, the dreaded RFID mark that I wrote about 4 years ago. Any animal with this RFID tag must have the premise registration of it’s origin and whoever buys that animal in the future. Just this step will roll 90% or more of cattle owners into the program in the next two years. Any cattle that go through a sale barn will require premise registration starting January of 2010… three weeks from now! Without this mark, you won’t buy or sell your adult cattle in the sale barn for now, all of them anywhere later. Remember, 29 species are in this program when fully implemented, this is just the first phase. Register, Chip, then Track, everything, everywhere. Your papers please…

I have said this is coming, the USDA documents told all about it, now it appears it is here. I said two years ago that NAIS was being rolled into many existing animal health programs. As recent as this past summer my Congresswoman Emerson said they were trying to keep this ”voluntary” when it was being rolled into these programs, I heard her myself. I wrote then she didn’t have a clue or worse, just didn’t care. A local reporter was there. When I gave her the documents showing Emerson was not stating facts, the reporter said she didn’t feel like it was her job to take on Emerson… go figure America, this is the kind of reporting we have today. Just go along to get along.

Look what is happening now to our country. When someone speaks out, do you support them, or distance yourself from them? What happened to guts in America? Where is the spirit of our great founders? Where are the voices that cry, ”give me Liberty, or give me … oops, guess we can’t say that one anymore… too radical. We want calm leaders that never raise their voices and always have a smile on their face… how is that working for you America?

Our founders knew how out of control government could get. We are so far from our constitution now that our country is in for it. Government run health care, Cap and trade, the ”Climate Change” scheme to tax all production and energy. Food safety bills tracking your local head of lettuce from your garden to your neighbors picnic sandwich. America is sick, and I am sick of the leadership in America! Where are our ag leaders? Where is Farm Bureau? Farm Bureau’s members don’t want this program, why is the leadership silent for God’s sake?

Where the hell is the mainstream media? Why doesn’t anyone know about any of this? We are in a world gone mad. Send this to O’Reilly or Beck or Hannity or Rush or Palin or Begala or King or Olberman or Curic or Maddow or Stossel or Matthews, or the Republican party or the Dems leadership, they haven’t touched it yet as far as I know, I hope they finally do. Two million march on Washington and the mainstream media yarns. Thousands in Missouri are about to lose another huge part of personal freedom. Last week just outside my office the government installed ”traffic” cameras to watch us. They are all over the state now. They will keep us ‘’safe”. Big brother wants to watch your every move now. Government intrusion into our lives continues at an unprecedented rate. Why do you need camera’s in the most rural, least populated areas of the state, not to mention, I thought we were having some budget problems? Oh yeah, I forgot, we just print money now.

Obama and company march on. Our clueless Congress marches on. Who will stop them? Will it be you? Will it be me? Rise up my friends and vote them all out! Let’s have a tea party next year that Congress will never forget. Let’s throw them all over the side that have supported or failed to inform the people of these attacks on our freedoms. Our government is systematically taking America, and her freedoms apart.

History will show who really cared about our freedoms and who stood up and fought to keep them. We are all in this together really. I lose my freedoms, they come for yours next. First, they came for the cows. Welcome to the ranchers pearl harbor as we remember the attack on Peal Harbor. This program will destroy small farmers and livestock owners. The eventual cost will be astronomical. We must stop this program! I will not register my farm. This is just the first step of a horrific program that will destroy our food supply and our freedoms. Just look in your grocery store next time, how much food is imported into Missouri and America already?

Had enough yet?

The following information was received just this morning verbally by the head Veterinarian of Missouri, Dr. Taylor Woods and is written by Doreen Hannes;

Many of you know something about this, but this is as accurate and up to the minute as I can get right now. I want people to know about it so they are not taken by surprise after January the 1st. Feel free to forward this, and do whatever digging you can do on your own. We will get to the bottom of it and get documentation, but we don’t have time to wait… Thank you, and God bless!!!

— NAIS is Contagious —

Interestingly enough, it’s Pearl Harbor Day — and so it is for Cattle

Last week I heard from someone who works at several sale barns in the area that one was currently tagging all breeding cows with 840 NAIS tags if they did not have the metal brucellosis tag in their ears. As of January 1st, 2010, they would tag all breeding stock going through the chute with 840 tags regardless of metal bruce tags that were already in the cow’s ear. The word was that this was ’some sale barns’ and ’some veterinarians’.

I’ve spent several days trying to get information and documentation on this, and this morning, our Missouri State veterinarian, Dr. Taylor Woods, was kind enough to call me and explain what is happening in fair detail.

According to Dr. Woods, in March or April of 2009, he received a notice from the USDA stating that in two weeks all federal funding for Brucellosis was to be cut off. This was rather a shock to him and he called and went all the way up to Dr. John Clifford. Clifford told him he should have received a notice regarding this in December of 2008. Dr. Woods told him that this was the first he had heard of it, and went on to ascertain that the reason for failure of notification was because Missouri has been 5 years brucellosis free. Dr. Clifford stated that he would allow funding to continue for Missouri until December 31st, 2009. At that time, all blood testing for brucellosis would cease and all breeding cattle would be identified at the market by the market veterinarian with the 840 tag. The 840 tags are currently provided by the USDA free to the state of Missouri, and will supplant testing and the metal Brucellosis tags at market.

Also, Doctor Woods said that as far as he is aware, this is what is going to happen in every single state. Also, that only Texas and Missouri have been collecting blood and actually testing for Brucellosis. He said that these 840 tags are NOT NAIS tags. Also, notably, that he is rather irritated to see a successful program of Brucellosis eradication going away and relying instead upon a tag that will not detect the disease. It is confirmed via a myriad of sources that there will be no more pulling of blood to check for brucellosis in several states. The USDA Veterinary Services (VS) is doing away with the brucellosis program to bring in the OIE (World Animal Health Organization) standards for trade on Animal Identification, which at the very least, according to the Guidelines of the OIE, will identify an animal back to the farm of origin or ‘premise’. These are the first two prongs of NAIS: premises registration, and animal identification. You cannot have 840 identification without going back to the ‘premises’. Doctor Woods told me that they would be using the sale barns (markets) as the premises. This is NOT supported by any documentation that is available anywhere.

Now, I am completely unable to find any other designation for the 840 tags other than one which links the identified animal back to the NAIS premises of the owner selling the cattle. For cattle, all 840 tags are radio frequency identification, the USDA is allowing 840 non RFID identification for hogs, otherwise all 840 is RFID and all 840 is linked back to the farm of origin or premises.

Again, this is to go into effect in all states beginning on January the 1st, 2010. Doctor Woods was kind enough to assure me that he would be happy to give me whatever correspondence and documentation he could find regarding this. The issue as I see it is that there is not much time at all before January 1st, and I certainly cannot wait the six weeks it took for my last request from the Missouri Department of Agriculture to be fulfilled. The USDA never gives out any information unless you possess the capacity to actually sue them for the information… at least not to the likes of me.

There are several States with statute constraining the implementation of NAIS and premises registration. Missouri is one of those States, and there appears to be a definite conflict here unless the documents can indeed support something other than premises registration under NAIS standards (you can call it what you like, NFAIP, USAIP, NAIS, NLIS, or whatever), this would indeed be construed as mandating or otherwise forcing participation in NAIS or any similar program by the State Veterinarians office and a case of the USDA forcing a State Department to violate statute to continue to participate in interstate commerce. The USDA is in violation of the APA at the very least.

At any rate, I wanted to get this information out despite the lack of paperwork to support this as there are many sources confirming the generalities of this and no one saying that 840 tags will not be used on cattle going through the chutes in the state of Missouri after January 1st, 2010.

When I do get the actual documentation, I will be sending it on to all interested parties. This is trickle down and up NAIS in full effect. 2010 is the year for OIE compliance on animal identification for the USDA. And first they came for the cows… Here they come, folks.
