The notice specified in subsection (b) shall appear on the sign in black letters, and each letter shall be a minimum of one inch in height. (b) The signs required in subsection (a) shall contain the following notice: NOTICE To: All livestock owners, consignors, or agents. Any animal that is injured, disabled, or deemed unfit for sale shall be examined by the market veterinarian.
