If each location has a different Premises Identification Number, what happens if the owner moves cattle from one location to another, such as for breeding or seasonal grazing purposes?
Although locations can have separate Premises Identification Numbers (PIN), it may not be necessary for producers to report animal movements that occur for typical management purposes within the overall operation. If a producer maintains truly separate cattle operations however, it may be of merit to have the animals linked to separate, specific PINs—for example if a producer owns both a purebred and a commercial herd that are managed at different locations and are not commingled. Having a record of each premises will help animal health officials determine the magnitude of an investigation needed if a disease were identified in one of the animals at that premises. It is important to note movement reporting requirements have not yet been finalized. ISDA is working with producer groups to develop a workable set of provisions.
