do not regulate our animals
 

Please do not regulate the animals on small farms.  Regulations always unfairly burden the little guy.  While the big guy can place one RFID chip in a herd of 500 cows, for example, the little guy has to chip each animal.  That is very expensive.

There are already regs in place for importation of animals into Va.

This sounds like NAIS re-visted.
