§ 21058 Cattle Shipment Documentation Requirements

Key Takeaways

•When cows are moved, they need papers to show where they came from and where they're going.
•The papers must include who owns the cows, who is buying them, and who is moving them.
•The truck moving the cows must have its license number written on the papers.
•If the state doesn’t check cow brands, a health paper or sale paper is okay.

Example

A farmer sells 20 cows to a buyer in another town.

The farmer must give the truck driver a paper with the sale date, where the cows are picked up, the farmer’s name, the buyer’s name, the truck’s license number, and the farmer’s signature. If the farmer doesn’t have this paper, the cows can’t be moved legally.

All cattle shipped pursuant to Section 21057 shall be accompanied by one of the following: (a) A bill of sale on an approved form giving the date of sale, the loading point, the name and address of the owner or consignor or both, the destination, the number of animals, the certificate number on which the animals were inspected into the feedlot, the lot number, if any, the name and address of the buyer, the name of the transporter or carrier and the license number of the vehicle used to transport the animals, and the signature of the owner or his or her authorized agent. (b) A saleyard invoice meeting the requirements of Sections 21744 and 21745. (c) A certificate of consignment on an approved form giving the date of sale, the loading point, the name and address of the owner or consignor or both, the destination, the number of animals, the certificate number on which the animals were inspected into the feedlot, the lot number, if any, the name and address of the buyer, the name of the transporter or carrier and the license number of the vehicle used to transport the animals, and the signature of the owner or his or her authorized agent. (d) A brand inspection certificate or, for states with no inspection, a bill of sale or health certificate. (Amended by Stats. 1988, Ch. 812, Sec. 4.)
