Market Comments     

All classes of cattle selling very active and in good demand. Despite the ongoing political BS cattle numbers remain tight and the market for our cattle is positive.

The TAHC (Texas Animal Health Commission) is to vote June 5th on a regulation to force the livestock auctions to ear tag (with a metal tag) all cows being marketed. They want the sale barns to charge the customers $6.00 per head for this service. This is nothing more than a tax on livestock. The auction barn back tag (in all disease outbreaks) has been the major source of traceability.
The chief counsel for the TAHC told me (Mike)  that the back tags used at sale barns were in fact a permanent ID for slaughter cows. If that is the case why charge the customer $6.00 per head for an ear tag application.

Please help us fight the TAHC against this unfair "tax".
call or email the TAHC at: 512-719-0700 or 512-719-0733  execdir@tahc.state.tx.us
