Section 12:79:03:03 - Transfer procedure

To retain eligibility in the enrolled cattle program or the natural program, the transfer of certified enrolled cattle shall be made as follows:

(1) Every licensee who transfers physical possession of certified enrolled cattle to another licensee shall warrant that the certified enrolled cattle are on the date of the transfer in full compliance with all requirements of the applicable program. The warranty shall be in writing on a form required by the secretary, and shall be provided to the transferee before or at the time of transfer;

(2) Any transfer of physical possession of certified enrolled cattle from a licensed producer shall be only to another licensed producer or a licensed processor. This requirement does not apply if certified enrolled cattle are temporarily transferred to a veterinary facility or to a livestock auction market licensed by the Animal Industry Board for the purpose of sale;

(3) The transfer of certified enrolled cattle from one licensed producer to another shall be reported to the Department of Agriculture on the transfer warranty certificate. The certificate shall be on a form required by the secretary and must be kept as a record to document the receiving, shipping, and disposition of enrolled cattle within seven calendar days after the transfer:

(4) The treatment or disqualification and subsequent removal of cattle from the natural enrolled cattle program to the enrolled cattle program must be recorded in the producer's treatment records and on the transfer warranty certificate with the department within seven calendar days of the change;

(5) Any transfer other than as expressly provided for in these rules automatically terminates the enrollment of the animal in the enrolled cattle program and natural program unless specifically exempted by the secretary.
