Mandatory EID of cattle from middle of next year

Nothing really happens to people caught rustling as such , even by the dept.there is no severe penalty ever handed out to deter would be that rustlers
The man caught at Virginia show for stealing a calf , swapping tags and he was got 2 or 3 days later.it came to light that there was another animal that suffered the same faith at the same show a few yrs earlier.people did recognise the cow but nobody could prove it.
Case went to court by the dept which @CavanJacks And other's will remember but feck out came out of it......slap on the wrist.stealing was one thing but changing tags was another.i know that person and I don't have any time for sweet talkers.he was charged alright but there was no deterent to prevent anyone considering the same stunt.
Man appeared to a local show the following year, nobody even bid him the time of day and the judge placed him last on the basis the cow was to big to suit lying in a cubicle..
The UK and NI seems to take a stricter view on rustling with severe penalties

Doesn't appear the dept done much either when he swapped tags and put in his own.
Know the garda super mentioned above through family connections as would @mixed fleet .
Padraig the superintendent wont be happy with the outcome of that case
 
I was at an open day this morning and there's supposed to be a 100euro subsidy on the tags from January 1st and can be carried over for 3 years before it's lost. So, basically, you can get 100euro off your order of tags if it's over 100euro or carry it over till next year and the year after if you don't order up to that level of tags and replacements.

And the EID tag will be white with a normal yellow back to it and calves born from July1st will all have to be tagged with the new tags but you can use up any remaining tags till then.

Is there a set amount per tag.?
Tags are roughly 4 per set so would ordering 25 qualify for the full amount

For the sheep we had to order a 100 tags to get the 100 euro and it was a once off, so if you ordered 50 you basically lost 50 euros

Not that I heard. It seems to be the same as the sheep one alright. It's not finalised as yet but should be included in the budget.
