Premises Id and My Youth Livestock Phamphlet
This pamphlet goes into the reasoning behind EID tags and Premises ID, and also lays out the steps needed to obtain a Premises ID. With the inclusion of EID tags and Premises ID into our youth livestock project, we are educating youth on the importance of animal traceability and how they can become industry leaders in this realm as they move into their careers. All 4-H/FFA MARKET animals carrying an EID tag are required to have a Premises ID. A Premises ID number can be obtained through the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (402-471-2351). See registration form below.
