[QUOTE="milkloss, post: 1054522, member: 56"] No, you're right it wasn't implicated but that doesn't really promote RT does it? I was implying they should have been confident of their labelled produce and gone into promotion over drive rather then skulk in a corner hoping they didn't get caught out. I know RT aren't into promotion but they should possibly in partnership with someone like EBLEX for example. I wasn't suggesting labels in passports, far from it. Could you imagine pp sent for correction or more pages? Where the hell are you going to track all those stickers from the holdings the animal has been on. What if one dries out and falls off? ( remember those dodgy bcms holding stickers that dried and fell out?). no. Stickers are bad. Ear tag holding data was suggested in an nfu meeting. I think that with tag retention and the cost of the gear to write/read data is a definite no go. Database? Whose gonna pay? How do you check the data before buying? Data protection act? Which auctioneer is going to want the responsibility of chasing money back for an animal that missed an assured holding? Some answers for you: pp will never need more pages because no more then 4 moves will be allowed. Clearly for the reasons stated above stickers should be ruled out with little or no debate. Database would be paid for by us but will be no good because of the data protection act and no prospective buyers would be able to see the data anyhoo. Not only that but moves would have to be recorded twice as mixing such data with the bcms could bring the whole cost of the bcms on our shoulders. Auctioneers won't have to worry about chasing history and reclaiming money because said stock can't go through the auction ring due to the difficulties of checking data and excepting all that risk. Not only that but the ultimate goal of all this super controlled movement and assurance system is probably partly to do with eradicating the economic benefit of the transparent auction system through some thinly veiled promise of better welfare for the animal.
