[QUOTE="egbert, post: 6289962, member: 9965"] Talk of FMD when you're against the 6 day standstill is pretty ripe. If it had been in place before Feb 2001, a lot of pain might've been spared. It's a nuisance, but serves a very good purpose. And if you don't see the irony in the phrase 'larger trading farms' perhaps you need to take a step back and ask why gov needed to put such things in place. Perhaps you need to look in the mirror, I don't know. And while you're free to dismiss JPs opinions because he's a 'small farmer' whose opinions evidently don't count, do mine count? (I see I've now set something like 4500 tag numbers in home bred calves ears on my hobby farm). We've been here before I believe Mo. You think electro-tags will be wonderful, I think they'll be a pain in the butt. The sheep EIDs do nothing for me, merely adding expense and giving gov inspectors another stick to beat me with. You seem to think they'll work in the real world, and that dropping an envelope of passports in the mud is a problem. I'm quite confident that the new system won't work any better, and the gadgets that get dropped in the shite/slammed against the headstock etc will be harder fixed than some dirty bits of paper. I deal with - generally through missus Egbert- any number of gov departments. And BCMS are a shining light of efficiency and common sense against any of them. We must see and measure the world very differently, you and I. [/QUOTE]
