(1) All
sexually intact cattle and bison at least eighteen (18) months of
age.

any age and all dairy bulls and steers born after March 11, 2013.
(3) Cattle and bison of any age used for:

(2) The cattle and bison
are moved directly from a location in one (1) state through another state to a
second location in the original state.
(3) The cattle and bison are moved into the
state directly to an approved tagging site and are officially identified before
commingling with cattle and bison from other premises, or identified by the use
of backtags or other methods that will ensure that the identity of the animal
is accurately maintained until tagging so that the official eartag can be
correlated to the person responsible for shipping the animal to the approved
tagging site.
(4) The cattle and
bison are moved directly to an approved slaughtering establishment or directly
to not more than one (1) approved livestock facility and then directly to an
approved slaughtering establishment, where they are harvested within three (3)
days of arrival and:
(A) they are moved with a
backtag approved by the United States Department of Agriculture; or

Department of Agriculture is applied to the cattle or bison at the approved
slaughtering establishment or approved livestock facility.
(5) The movement has been authorized by the
state veterinarian to be conducted with a different form of identification than
what is required in subsection (a) to facilitate disease control.
(c) A person responsible for moving cattle and bison into Indiana must ensure that the animals are accompanied by the following documentation:
(1) Except as provided in this subsection and
subsection (d), a pre-entry permit must be obtained from the state
veterinarian. The permit number shall be recorded:
(A) on the certificate of veterinary
inspection associated with the permitted animals; or
(B) if a certificate of veterinary inspection
is not required, the owner-shipper statement accompanying the shipment. The
certificate of veterinary inspection or owner-shipper statement with the
correct permit number must be in possession of the person in charge of the
animals during movement. A pre-entry permit is not required when, prior to
moving the animals into the state, a certificate of veterinary inspection in an
electronic form is submitted to the state veterinarian.
(2) Except as provided in subsection (d), a
CVI must be prepared for the animal that meets the requirements of 345 IAC
1-1.52. A CVI issued in accordance with this section must be issued within the
thirty (30) days immediately prior to the date of movement. An animal may be
moved with another form of documentation, such as an owner-shipper statement,
provided that it is authorized by the state veterinarian or another rule
adopted by the board.
(d) The following movements of cattle and bison may occur without a permit or CVI:
(1) Animals that are moved directly to an
approved slaughtering establishment, or directly to an approved livestock
facility and then directly to an approved slaughtering establishment. The
animals must be accompanied by an owner-shipper statement, but animals may be
moved to an approved livestock facility without an owner-shipper statement if
the information required to be present on this statement is obtained by the
facility upon arrival.
(2) Animals
that are moved directly to an approved livestock facility and do not move
interstate from the facility unless accompanied by a CVI. The animals must be
accompanied by an owner-shipper statement, unless the information required to
