[Jacob-list] state/national program

[Victoria da Roza]

I think the state program is the mandatory which means
you just tag with acceptable tag.  The voluntary is
the national program or maybe I have it backwards. 
This is what I did I had the state use the same number
for my voluntary flock as my JBSA flock number so I
only have to remember one number 0303 for everything. 
If you use the national program then as Gary said you
can use your standing across state lines.  The ewes I
got across state lines were just on the mandatory
program without the vet visits to the flock yearly and
that is why I had to go back to zero several times in
my 5 year count.
   Even if no one knows of a scrapie case in Jacobs,
it would still be a big plus for me if I were buying
an RR sheep or one on the voluntary program.  If
scrapie does turn up then it is too late to get the 5
year free status.  Victoria
