Hi Carol-Anne! In case you haven't already discovered it, you will find the Canadian Dexter Cattle Association at www.clrc.ca/dexter.shtml From there, you can...
I have done a lot of research on this NAIS thing and there is a few things that concern me: 1. Slaughter houses accepting downed cows. The cows that had...
... But they VERY SPECIFICALLY say that animals that will not be sold or given to other people will not need to be tagged. So that isn't true. They even...
I see the gov't as being far more duplicitous than you are giving them credit for. The examples are littered throught the history of the last century or...
I think you answered your questions on this matter in this statement. ... thinking things through carefully enough before moving forward, and keeping having to...
-I wholeheartedly agree Dirk. The first drafts WERE inclusive of everything that was animal and fowl. They caused such an uproar in places like Missouri that I...
I am just jumping in here but I think that NAIS has been suspended. Here is a quote from something I found online: New Privacy Act System of Records for NAIS...
Great question Sherry.  I report all transactions Sale, Barter, and I even include all processing of animals to my accountant whether it be on ranch or...
Thanks for the INFO. I see FARFA doesn't have it posted yet? I also wouldn't hold my breath either, as the Supreme court ruled in 1919 income tax was...
Here is more on NAIS from a goat list Barbara Stewart ... Aquila Ranch With the abuse and use of the 4H and FFA kids pitted against their families beliefs,...
We thought it was rediculous for them to consider tagging a LaMancha goat...earless....but they are going to require it. They tell us we will have to tag the...
And how do you think most people who have one or two animals get them?? They buy them. So because I sell one or two calves to other private parties a year...
... Well, the whole thing is on hold right now anyhow, so it's somewhat moot--but only the calves you were going to sell would have to be tagged. -- Winged...
I think once your Premise is registered you are in NAIS.....no part time thing like just tagging the couple that you MIGHT sell. Barbara Stewart ... From:...
I am suspicious of anything that is written by one interest group and is to be applied to another interest group. In this instance the proposal was drafted...
On Thu, Jan 1, 2009 at 10:31 PM, Barbara Stewart ... The more I read, the less I get what the fuss is about. There is absolutely nothing on the NAIS site to...
Thanks Marion. I've actually found the CDCA and compiled a list of breeders to call. My inquiry about importing was based on bringing in 'new' bloodlines,...
You're right you do need to see more than just propaganda. That's why when I first heard about this I went searching and found the plan for NAIS. It had a...
... Why would large producers want something that would cost them hundreds or even thousands of dollars, and cost a small producer $6.00? The site already says...
... Well, yes--because the plan has changed. The entire program is still open for comments, and they have an e-mail address you can write to. They're going to...
Why indeed. But this was created by large producers. I think it's because more and more people are turning away from the agribusiness and going to home ...
It would only make sense if it is meant to track large agribusiness and not the private holder. Large agribusiness is the problem, the way they handle and...
Right now, again, NAIS is shelved. USDA tried to slip a memo through that they got caught on and retracted it. No NAIS for the immediate future. NAIS is...
Dont make arbitrary assumptions on what my motives are. I commented from knowledge on the issue. I'm out of this one. Jake It may be on hold but on hold isn't...
Quote: NAIS is a combination brainchild of the USDA and the National Institute for Animal Agriculture whose corporate members include Cargill Meat Solutions,...
Hi All, I think that the NAIS discussion is one that is important, but I think we need to get back to talking about Dexter Cattle. There are some lists...

I did not make an arbitrary assumption. I did assume...but that was in response to what you posted. Now, if I'm wrong I'm sorry. But, from what you've ...
