HCR6012

This concurrent resolution expresses South Dakota's preference that the U.S. Department of Agriculture allow flexible animal identification methods rather than requiring all cattle to use electronic ID eartags, which would cost producers $2-$3.65 per animal. The resolution supports South Dakota's existing law (HB 1096) that lets livestock owners choose from multiple identification methods approved by the state's Animal Industry Board instead of being forced to use one specific technology.
