Sheep and Goat eID

In this episode, we’re joined by Ebony Nowlan, Senior Biosecurity Officer for eID implementation in sheep and goats. Ebony breaks down what producers need to know about the rollout of electronic identification, from key dates and regulatory timelines to what’s happening behind the scenes to support the transition. We also get into the practical side: how to get started, what systems and setups are working well on farms already using EID, and how producers can use the data to drive better decisions. Whether you're feeling ready or a bit overwhelmed, this episode gives you a clear picture of where we’re headed and how to make the most of the change.
