during this year’s annual meeting
of the Minnesota-based Livestock
Conservation Institute.
Well over 100 industry leaders
turned out during the afternoon
and evening prior to the annual
meeting for a workshop on the
subject. Representatives of each
segment of the industry presented
views on the mechanics of iden

how it would be used.
The workshop defined these
attributes of such an identification
system:
(1) national in scape; (2) per
manent; (3) involve a national
numbering system; (4) minimum
of herd identification, with in
dividual animal ID optional; (5)
application at the farm; (6)

include: animal health, herd
management, theft prevention,
residue detection and education,
enhance pride in product, genetic
improvement, disease eradication.
