Low-risk exposed animal. Any exposed animal to which the Administrator has determined one or more of the following applies:
(1) The positive animal that was the source of exposure was not born in the flock and did not lamb in the flock or in an enclosure where the exposed animal resided;
(2) The Administrator and State representative concur that the animal is unlikely to be infected due to factors such as, but not limited to, where the animal resided or the time period the animal resided in the flock;
(3) The exposed animal is male and was not born in an infected or source flock;
(4) The exposed animal is a castrated male;
(5) The exposed animal is an embryo of a genetically resistant exposed sheep or a genetically less susceptible exposed sheep unless placed in a recipient that was a genetically susceptible exposed animal; or
