We the undersigned Residents of Colorado hereby request the Director of 4-H Youth Development Programs at Colorado State University repeal the current implemented mandatory premises registration for all Colorado 4-H livestock project animals (beef and dairy cattle, sheep, swine, goat, poultry, llama and horse)
• 4-H and FFA are voluntary programs that, by law, must be administered without prejudice or discrimination
• The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s proposed national animal identification system is voluntary and has not been mandated by Congress
• There is no legislation in the State of Colorado mandating premises registration or animal identification
• Attaching a premises registration to property is similar to placing a covenant on that property into perpetuity
• Participation in the premises registration and animal identification system places property in a permanent database and the information collected is not protected from disclosure leaving landowners vulnerable to competitive misuse or sale of private information
• An existing program is already in place to identify animals intended for exhibition at the county and state fair levels
• Less than 25 percent of livestock production operations nation wide have registered for premises registration demonstrating the overwhelming opposition to this system
• Premises registration encumbers property potentially decreasing its market value and intrudes on citizens’ private property rights
• Foisting this mandatory program on 4-H and FFA youth presents participating counties with potential civil liabilities

BE IT RESOLVED that the Residents of Colorado oppose the implementation of mandatory premises registration for 4-H and FFA programs.
