§ 10356 Bovine Vaccination Requirements

This law says only an official veterinarian or an accredited vet approved by the department can give vaccines to cows, and the state can charge a reasonable extra fee for the service.

Key Takeaways

  • •Only official or department‑approved vets can vaccinate cattle.
  • •The vet must be authorized by the department.
  • •The director can charge a reasonable fee for the vet’s service, separate from the vaccine cost.

Example

A farmer takes his dairy cow to the state’s official vet to get a foot‑and‑mouth vaccine.

The vet is allowed to give the shot because they are an official or accredited vet. After the shot, the farmer may have to pay a small fee for the vet’s work, but the fee can’t include the price of the vaccine itself.
