The Texas Animal Health Commission has canceled its March 23 meeting on a proposal to require livestock premise registration.
The commission says that the federal government needs to first decide how it wants states to proceed.
After a February meeting in which most speakers opposed mandatory premise registration, the Texas commission tabled the matter.
Now commissioners, who already implemented a voluntary program, have tossed the ball back to the feds.
