What should 4-H do to participate in PigTrace Canada?
Step 1. Ensure the producer you are getting your 4-H project animal from has a Premises ID (PID), is an active participant with PigTrace, and your animal has an ear tag with an identifying number on it.
Step 2. Give the producer your information (your name, PID, licence plate for the truck/trailer).
Step 3. Every time you move your animal to a different site, you must enter the information into PigTrace (see above for this year’s exception).
