flag Senator Mike Rounds calls to suspend USDA's cattle tagging mandate due to cost and privacy concerns.

flag South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds is calling for a suspension of the USDA's Electronic Identification (EID) tag mandate, which requires cattle and bison producers to use both visually and electronically readable tags. flag Producers are worried about data security and confidentiality, and many face costs as the USDA has not provided the tags for free. flag Rounds argues that this mandate places an unreasonable burden on ranchers already dealing with market uncertainty and rising costs. flag Wyoming Senator Lynn H. Steinmetz also opposes the rule, advocating for voluntary identification methods and introducing legislation to protect state rights and agricultural interests.
