Currently there is a voluntary USDA program to register ALL livestock (Cattle, horses, goats...). It will become mandatory in a few years. My understanding is that cattle registration is to be REQUIRED first then the other animals. Every animal will be tracked/ traced and every entry and exit from your farm will have to be recorded. This isn't just for livestock producers. It will be required of EVERYONE including rural owners of pleasure horses and other animals.

They have started it as a voluntary registration because of manpower and because it will ease people in without alarming them so resistance will be more limited when it is mandatory. We just had this conversation at the local USDA office a couple of weeks ago.
