Hey, I've got all my pets chipped. Even poor Temper. He also has a tatoo, but I've heard that tatoos can be altered. The chips have been wonderful and most vets have the readers now. As an animal rescue person, we've found several poor pets lost and their chips found their owners for us. Especially during the Hurrican issue.

I'm not sure I understand about the fires? You mean they evacuated horses and then couldn't find their owners?

Anyway, chipping isn't expensive either. I'm not sure it's good for huge stock issues, but for prize bulls, cows, and your horses, it's a good idea. The cost for Temmper was 50.00 and for my cats and dane, only 20 as they wre asleep from bieng neutored/spayed.
