Judge Counsell questioned whether the premise registration system had shown to be a benefit to disease control in Wisconsin to which Dr. McGraw responded “No”.

The judge then asked if it had been shown to be a benefit in any other state it had been implemented in and again the response was, “no”.

In the judge's questioning of Cheryl Daniels the question was posed as whether the premise number was part of the 15 digit individual animal identifier number.  A shocked look came onto Ms. Daniels face as she responded “no”; an answer in direct contradiction to the USDA’s business plan.
