grassfarmer, the government already knows how many cattle I have - I don't need to be voluntarily applying for a "unique premise identification number". The government can issue me one. It is the voluntary act of complying that is going to get the producer into a whole mess of trouble.
As for emergency plans by oil companies; we don't have any regions close by involving sour gas, which is the most common reason for an evacuation plan. As for the efficacy of these plans, I have heard from residents in many regions facing the sour gas problems, and the plans are a joke. They are the ellusion of doing something. In fact, they say they are all sitting ducks waiting for the next leak to whipe them out.
The Surface Rights guys had a family from the foothills come to discuss their situation. They have been gassed several times, with just enough to knock them down but not kill them. They have taken the oil companies to court, and lost. They lost because the government wouldn't accept their medical information without them releasing it to the public. At the court hearings, the gov. stated the folks didn't submit their medical records. In fact, they did but requested they be kept confidential (ie: not open to public scrutiny - but available only to the Court), apparently the Gov. waited until after the hearing to inform them that they only needed to file a request form that would have fixed the problem. That's called misleading and misinforming the public, to obtain a given result. Dirty pool.
Long story short - our gov. screwed them, the oil companies tried to kill them, and cooperating with your own planned destruction is suicide.
ALMS will lead to the destruction of many producers, who will be blind sided by the powers of this Animal Health Act (the tool for ALMS).
Once again, why pay the ranchers to "voluntarily comply" when they plan on making the whole deal mandatory by law anyways. This is because the laws are going to be empowered via regulations, and regulations can be changed at the drop of a hat. What you think you're agreeing to today, will change tomorrow and you will have no recourse because you voluntarily signed up. Kind of like the military.
