Section 21.32.3.8 - CREATING DISTRICTS
Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024
A. The board shall, as it deems necessary, create such districts within the state for the purpose of controlling the movement of livestock.
B. The districts shall be known as "livestock inspection districts" and will coincide with the boundaries of the districts shown on the "livestock inspection districts map" dated June 21, 1997 and available at the office of the New Mexico livestock board.
C. Upon approval of the livestock inspector in charge, livestock may move within the designated district without inspection. All livestock intended for shipment from one district to another must be inspected prior to leaving the district, unless the inspector in charge shall designate another location outside the district of origin where the livestock will be subsequently inspected.
D. "International livestock inspection zone within districts" are created, to include the exterior boundaries within the United States of facilities comprising international import receiving facilities and any board-designated holding facility that directly receives livestock that have been transported directly to an international import receiving facility and that have been inspected for health by the United States department of agriculture. As to those USDA-inspected livestock, which have been received by the international import receiving facility and any nearby private holding facility, no prior permit from the board is required in order to enter those facilities. The board's inspection and health requirements apply in order to permit livestock movement from within the boundaries of the international livestock inspection zone to beyond said zone. The board's inspection and health requirements apply in order to permit livestock movement from outside the boundaries of the international livestock inspection zone to within said zone. Evidence of compliance with all inspection and health requirements necessary to enter New Mexico must also accompany all livestock that move from the international inspection zone into New Mexico.
