The USDA APHIS adopted rules requiring most cattle two years or older to be backtagged or cartagged when shipped across state lines to aid disease eradication. Exemptions cover steers, spayed heifers and certain direct farm to stockyard or packing plant shipments with proper lot identification, while rules prohibit tag removal before final destination.
