Basic RFID Components
Dec 01, 2003, Beef Magazine
Transponder This is the electronic identification (EID) tag itself, often serving as the female button attachment for a traditional visual identification tag. Transponders for radio-frequency identification (RFID) in the beef industry are passive responders. This means they possess no power source of their own. Instead, it's the charge provided by the transceiver (reader) that enables the transponder

Mix And Match
Dec 01, 2003, Beef Magazine, By Wes Ishmael Contributing Editor
It's a toss-up. Even those who have already made substantial long-term investment in radio-frequency identification (RFID) for cattle, along with attendant electronic data capture, are torn as to whether cost or frustration is the key reason the industry has been so slow to adopt a technology that offers so much potential. Cost is an obvious contender. Whether it's 50/head or $2 or more, most producers

Bigger Is Cheaper
Dec 01, 2003, Beef Magazine, By Wes Ishmael Contributing Editor
Technologies like this always reward the best managers, says Kevin Dhuyvetter, an agricultural economist with Kansas State University (KSU). They continue to drive a wider gap between the top managers and the average ones. Dhuyvetter is referring to radio-frequency identification (RFID) and electronic data capture. And he's relating to the vexing challenge producers face justifying the cost of such

Setting The radio-frequency ID (RFID) Standard | KSU's Center for Animal ID continues to work in providing unbiased performance testing for RFID technology for beef industry
Dec 01, 2008, Beef Magazine, By Amanda Nolz
Not much riles up South Dakota cattle rancher Jeff Ebersdorfer, but ask about country-of-origin labeling (COOL) and he's ready to tell you a thing or two. COOL and a national animal identification system (NAIS) go hand in hand. One can't be successful without the other, and as consumers demand more information about the foods they eat, producers will need to be held more accountable of their cattle,

Radio Networking
Dec 01, 2003, Beef Magazine, By Clint Peck Senior Editor
When Dean and Karen Wang sold their calves this fall they had specific instructions written into the contract. The Baker, MT, ranchers wanted to be sure the buyer, an Iowa farmer-feeder, would leave the radio frequency identification (RFID) tags in the calves' ears and cooperate in returning performance data. In fact, the calves will be followed all the way through slaughter and the Wangs hope to

electronic cattle ID

Even before electronic cattle ID has become the rule rather than the exception, plenty of ID equipment purchased by well-meaning producers has already been relegated to paperweight status

Explaining ISO Compliance
Dec 01, 2003, Beef Magazine, by Wes Ishmael
When you first begin trying to learn the language of radio-frequency identification (RFID) and electronic-data capture in the cattle business, understanding two terms could be the difference between having lots of product options or none at all. Specifically, ISO 11784 and ISO 11785 are tempting to skip over because they sound so technical, and they are. But all you really need to know about them

Identifying Alliances
Dec 01, 2003, Beef Magazine, By Clint Peck Senior Editor
Most of the beef production and marketing alliances springing up around the country are predicated on some kind of animal identification (ID) system. Ken Conway, Hays, KS, says the radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology he's experienced is working very well for collecting and transferring cattle performance data. He's owner and president of GeneNet, an integrated marketing alliance that's

Applying ID
Dec 01, 2005, Beef Magazine, By Clint Peck Senior Editor
These days, John Paterson's job centers on helping ranchers dovetail the mandates of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) with the practicalities of running their operations. That's why he cringes when asked how ID will work between the various beef production segments. Paterson, a Montana State University Extension (MSU) beef specialist and director of the Montana Beef Network (MBN),
