TAHC as approved tagging sites or be affi liated with one. Feedyards and slaughter plants
receiving adult cattle must also be designated as approved tagging sites if the cattle are not harvested within 3 days of arrival at the es- tablishment. The tagging facilities will have to maintain records that identify the owners of the tagged animals. USDA arrived at its system after
a series of false starts. The agency initially planned for a mandatory program that would identify all animals as well as their premises, the home farm or ranch. This was shifted in 2006 to a voluntary ap- proach, but registration of premises continued. A year later, only 35 percent of premises had been en- rolled. The Department returned to a mandatory but limited approach, no longer requiring registration of
premises and limiting identifi ca- tion requirements to adult animals moving interstate. TAHC also proposed at its Sept.
10, 2013, meeting that all adult breeding cattle in Texas have offi - cial identifi cation at change of own- ership. The identifi cation would be required within 7 days of transfer of ownership, although cattle moved to a state- or federally-approved slaughter establishment would be exempt if they’re harvested within 3 days. A number of types of identi-
fi cation would be accepted. Rus- sell Iselt, manager of traceabil- ity and program records for the Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) says, “We are going to ac- cept bangle tags with the ranch’s name and a unique number and address or phone number.” (See ac- companying graphic for examples

of approved tags.) The Commission has been con-
ducting a public information cam- paign on the various new identifi ca- tion requirements, talking to market owners and producer groups. TSCRA has been stressing the
importance of ID to producers. Says Gray, “At all of our ranch gather- ings we bring up the importance of branding your livestock and mark- ing your equipment to identify it. If you don’t have identifi ers, it makes it extremely diffi cult for us to get that property back to you.”
