Section 21.32.3.12 - RE-SALE OF BABY CALVES

A. All baby calves identified under the provisions of 21.32.3.11 NMAC, and which are re-sold, must have the original eartag intact and readable. Buyer must maintain a record keeping system approved by the livestock board. This record keeping system must be capable of identifying premise of origin and other owners, (if any), and any corresponding bill of sales in less than 24 hours. The seller must furnish the buyer a copy of the baby calf bill of sale from the original owner, which identifies the calf by eartag number. All subsequent buyers of the calf will maintain the eartag and a copy of the corresponding original bill of sale, provided by the seller. An EID tag will also be accepted as an alternate means of identification for cattle in New Mexico dairy and feed lot.

B. Any sale of calves after being branded and the brands being peeled and healed, will be accomplished in the same manner as described in Section 77-9-21 through 77-9-23, NMSA 1978, and a tag leading to a premise of origin must be retained in the calf's ear.

C. All baby calves that are not part of a cow-calf pair imported into New Mexico from outside the state must be ear tagged from the premise of origin.
