[AT] Livestock ID (census)

[Ralph Goff]

We are headed for another one of those annoying surveys this spring too. Not 
sure just how often it happens but I know it always seems to hit right in 
the busiest time of the year (planting time) when I have no time to spare 
for anything other than field work , sleeping and eating. But I have to try 
and make time (maybe a rainy day job) to fill out these pages of questions 
just to keep the govt. happy. Sure wish they could send them out in February 
when I have hours each day that I could spend answering questions.

As for cattle I.D.,,, its already here and they are just going to get more 
strict in its enforcement as time goes by.
Currently my cattle are easily recognizable as the only ones around that 
don't have ear tags.
