“It’s basically a record of who and how many (animals) are on a site,” said Kevin Boon, general manager of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association. “It’s a complete way of doing that traceability aspect.” Implemented in 2011, the program is part of the province’s traceability system, alongside animal identification and movement reporting programs. Currently voluntary, it lets farmers and ranchers register land where animals are kept, handled, or disposed of regardless of the herd or flock size. Hobby farms with a pet horse or amateur beekeepers with a single hive are as eligible to sign up as a ranch with several hundred heads of cattle. Under the new rules, anyone raising farm animals, even a single individual, will need to register their land in the system.
