Looks like you are raising them up right! I can't wait to get my grandson on a horse!

[CindyDawg]

Well she's not completely deaf. I don't have a dog whistle but I went up behind her outside and called her. Nothing. When I clapped my hands though she turned her head. She kept stopping until I turned toward her and then came in the house. I took a pot and droped it a few feet from her when she wasn't looking. She turned her head but didn't jump. My husband has a deep voice and he called her from another room. Her ears never moved.

I'm soooo jealous, I absolutely cannot WAIT to have grandkids.

Yall in Texas get TETRA TALK? There is a disturbing article. regarding NAIS see http:// www.sos.state.tx.us/texreg/sos/PROPOSED/4.AGRICULTURE.html. The Texas Animal Health Commission has been authorized to implement an animal identification system consistant with NAIS. On July 1,2006, premises registration will be compulsory in Texas. All persons that own, manage or care for livestock, exotic livestock, poultry must register and submit a fee. This is being reported but I don't see any outrage from this organization. It doesn't say anything about horses though.

[RebaJ]

If they are including livestock, you can bet horses will probably be included.

Those books were ordered from the warehouse. The campus store did not have any in stock. They are supposed to be in next Thursday.

[CindyDawg]

You think? I went to that link but couldn't find anything.

[CindyDawg]

Ok thanks.

[Duchess47]

I was just reading this on the Texas NAIS website. I'm quite sure it includes horses. The voluntary registration form for premises in Nevada lists Beef__Dairy__Sheep__Goats__Horses__Swine__Poultry__

Nevada states it will be mandatory here by 2008. I can find no information anywhere giving penalties for non compliance.

[CindyDawg]

This isn't voluntary:'(

[Duchess47]

Nope, it's not going to be as I understand it.

[Duchess47]

Folling this link will get you to a pdf document for Nevada Premises Registration Form. I tried to get the one for Texas but you have to register to view it.

I'm a member of Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association and got some information regarding animal identification. I didn't take it seriously and put it aside without reading all of it. Guess I need to find it and see what's going on.

Good Morning.

High wind warning here.

[HairOfTheDog]

WA is reporting it as voluntary at this point... National Animal Identification System (NAIS) - Washington State Department of Agriculture - WSDA

Thanks so much. It is great to me a grandmother:)

I just talked to Jenny. She and the baby are doing wonderful, they get to come home this afternoon, so I have a busy day ahead of me:). When JP was born I got a "tradition" started:), I cooked supper for them for the first week they were home. Jenny and Travis have been looking forward to that, so I have to run to the grocery story today:) to be ready for that.
