Section 2-11 - Identification of Female Bovinae Upon Change of Ownership

(a) It is the livestock owner's responsibility to ensure that all sexually intact female Bovinae twelve (12) months of age and over that leave a Herd are identified with Board Approved Individual Identification prior to a change of ownership. The owner's/manager's signature on a brand inspection form and/or an official certificate of veterinary health inspection is a testament of compliance with this requirement.

  • (i) Cattle moving directly to slaughter from the Farm or Ranch of Origin may move without Board Approved Individual Identification if the identity of the Farm or Ranch of Origin is maintained.

(b) The Accredited Veterinarian who authorizes the identification of the animal shall report this identification to the cooperating animal health agencies on forms provided by the Board and/or APHIS.

(c) Bovinae already identified with Board Approved Individual Identification do not need any additional identification and duplicate official identification shall not be applied.

(d) If no Board Approved Individual Identification is present, the owner may apply a green Wyoming identification tag or an accredited veterinarian may apply a silver USDA/APHIS/VS tag or a USDA approved identification device.

(e) No report is necessary on Bovinae already identified with Board Approved Individual Identification.

(f) Board Approved Individual Identification can only be removed upon written approval of the Wyoming State Veterinarian.
