I am solution driven. This process is already frustratingly slow, and then a letter could be received in the middle of it stating that more hair is needed. I do this with cattle. We got the buttons or hair options. Of course, the hair option was a lot easier for me than putting cattle in and buttoning their ears but one ear is better than two tails, if the hair follicle comes back and the whole thing is slowed down again. A vet is on the job doing microchipping and markings. With a little bottle of blood, it is guaranteed. Blood is blood and it will not be hit and miss like a hair follicle. I am trying to come up with a way of hurrying the thing up. I would like to know why, if HSI was there already, it has gone full circle because hair is very hit and miss.
