RAPID CITY, S.D. — Calling the mandated use of electronic identification tags an "unnecessary burden" on cattle producers, R-CALF USA and the United States Cattlemen’s Association hosted a Livestock Producers Freedom Rally on Oct. 7 that focused on their issues about the tags soon to be mandated for use in cattle and bison sold across state lines.

U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyoming, was one of 82 members in the U.S. House to vote against a spending package that would keep the federal government open Wednesday.

The continuing resolution passed by a 341-82 vote in the House and 78-18 vote in the U.S. Senate.
