What it did get me was Federal funds should there be a catastrophic happening and I loose my herds (Gee,thanks will I still be alive should that ever happen?). I think the theory of not volunteering all information is probably a good thing. I'm not one for conspiracy theories (hee hee hee)but the NAIS is something I personally don't support. My large and medium animals are all tagged in one way or another for my own tracking purposes but how in the heck could I tag (or why would I waste my time) the 400 birds that go through my gates a year. They are eaten. If someone wanted to track thier where abouts they would have to check underground if you catch my drift....<BR/>I could still tell you where all of them went anyway.<BR/>I think, also, well at least probably, Marthas old room has been rented to some other Federal Census neglector already. And face it, after about the first three weeks you would be rested and looking for those two legged critters that can be so pesky at times.<BR/>MamaskiMama Skihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02639181215198588512noreply@blogger.com
