EID = Electronic ID systems for cattle, with registrations to computer. Just like an electronic form of a roll call every time the animals pass the reader. You can then assemble heaps of information, parentage, traits, yields, feed conversion. Sire proving and blood lines. Have been running them for five years here now.
Ken, was a business partner with Kerry Packer in Consolidated Pastoral. They had an investment near here and their local consultant is a friend. I had heard KP named as eff'n KP by the previous owner.
Another friend who managed the property tells a story about KP arriving by helicopter one day to look over his investment. It couldn't land near the
homestead, so he was collected in a calf trailer, pulled by a Honda quad bike. They are renown for spraying whatever comes off the wheels over whatever is behind. KP was covered in spattered cow bleep . Nice thing to do to your boss.
