According to World Dairy Diary, a group called ViaTrace has teamed with Microsoft and the United States Animal Identification Organization to create an animal tracking database. ViaTrace is calling its product ViaHerd, and has provided technology to the National Cattlemens Beef Association for bovine ID and to New York State for tracking captive deer already.
Why does this worry me? I dunno, somehow the combination of the world's dominant computer software bully with the bullies who want to identify our cattle in the name of disease tracking just isn't real comforting.
