Strengthen Cattle Identification Regulations
The U. S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) has adopted
regulations requiring most cattle
two years of age or older to be
back-tagged or eartagged to
identify the animals to their herd
of origin before they are shipped
across state lines.
Officials of USDA’s Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) said the new cattle
identification regulations-which
become effective October 23-
strengthen cooperative state
federal* efforts to eradicate
communicable livestock disease
such as brucellosis, tuberculosis
and cattle scabies.
Disease eradication programs
rely upon rapid trace-back of
infected animals to their herd of
origin. The newly adopted
regulations broaden current
requirements to include
backtagging of cattle two years
of age or older being shipped
across state lines for any pur-

pose-not just to slaughter--with
the following exceptions:
--Steers and spayed heifers.
-Cattle shipped interstate from
a farm, ranch or feedlot directly
to (1) a stockyard posted under
the Packers and Stockyards Act
where they are backtagged upon
arrival, or (2) an inspected
packing plant, provided the plant
maintains adequate iden
tification of these animals by lot
or similar means. (If lots
are mixed at the packing plant,
cattle must be backtagged before
herd of origin identity is lost.)
Dairy and breeding cattle
two years of age or older must be
backtagged or eartagged--or
identified by other approved
means such as official brands-if
they are being shipped across
state lines.
Reacting To An Emergency
It is important to know the
warning signs of heart attack and
be prepared to act in an
emergency. This article is of
fered as a public education
service of the Lancaster Chapter,
American Hedart Association.
How would you react in this
emergency?
One Sunday evening while
watching television, you sud
denly feel a prolonged squeezing
pain in the center of the chest.
You begin to sweat and feel
nauseous. The pain persists for
some time and then goes away.
Heart attack is the first thought
that comes to your mind. Would
the pain go away if it were a heart
attack? Perhaps you have picked
up some variety of 24-hour flu.
Could it be food poisoning? If you
could just get to bed, you know
you would feel better.
Then suddenly the pain comes
back and seems to spread toward
the shoulder. Again the doubts
about heart attack return. Should
you call the doctor? It is Sunday
night . . . perhaps you should
wait until morning.
Clearly a decision must be
made, and there is only one right
decision. Your Heart Association
urges you to call your doctor
immediately if you experience
any of the warning symptoms of
heart attack.
If you cannot reach your
doctor, or if you do not have a
regular physician, get to a

-Prebred cattle permanently
identified according to breed
requirements before two years of
age do not have to be backtagged
or eartagged when shipped in
terstate for purposes other than
for slaughter.
The regulation prohibits
removal of, or tampering with,
identifying backtags or eartags
until final destination. - Ex
ceptions to this rule must be
authorized by the Deputy Ad
ministrator of APHIS’s
Veterinary Services. Individ—
responsible for shipping cauie
across state lines are also
responsible for seeing that the
cattle are properly identified.

deaths occur before the victim
gets to the hospital. Delay may
cost your life.

accompanied by sweating.

too important to leave to the
patient alone. It is also the
responsiblity of the patient’s
family, friends and associates. If
a friend or relative experiences
symptoms of heart attack in your
presence, turn it upon yourself to
acHmmediately. Call
or take him to a hospital**
emergency room at once.
To help you be prepared for an
emergency, the Lancaster

warning signs of heart attack and
stroke and tells how to guard
against both of these conditions.
