  • •Owner can also get USDA money that is approved for helping eliminate tuberculosis in cattle.
  • •These payments are only possible when indemnity (compensation) funds are available.

Example

A farmer’s cow is found to have tuberculosis and must be slaughtered. The farmer can receive money from selling the cow’s meat and organs, plus any USDA payment meant to help get rid of TB in the state.

Because the cow was killed under this law and there are indemnity funds, the farmer can collect the sale proceeds of the cow’s salvage and any USDA money set aside for TB eradication.
