Section 001-202-I - PURPOSE

Universal Citation: 01 ME Code Rules ยง 001-202-I
Current through 2024-38, September 18, 2024

The purpose of the Rules for the Intrastate Movement of Sheep and Goats is to ensure that Maine sheep and goats remain free of scrapie and to meet United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) requirements for Consistent State Status as specified in 9 CFR part 79.6. Consistent states are required to impose intrastate movement regulations requiring identification upon change of ownership for sheep and goats. These rules are intended to comply with those requirements. These rules will ensure the continued ability for sheep and goat owners to move their animals across state lines for any purpose.

Adoption of these rules requiring identification of sheep and goats on change of ownership for intrastate movement does not in any way obligate Maine or Maine producers to participate in the National Animal Identification System.
