Mont. Admin. r. 32.3.416 - IDENTIFICATION OF TESTED, REACTOR, AND OTHER ANIMALS
(1) Reactor animals must be tagged with a
serially numbered U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) tag. If in the judgment
of the state veterinarian, there is concern about compliance with the
provisions of quarantine or if the reactor animal is found outside of the
Designated Surveillance Area, the animal may be permanently branded on the left
jaw with the letter "B" not less than two inches high. Tagging and branding of
reactors must be accomplished within 15 days after the date of test on blood
collected from the animal. The time allowed to tag and brand reactor animals,
as specified herein, may be enlarged or extended by the state veterinarian for
good cause shown.
(2) Animals which
have been subjected to an official test for brucellosis must be identified with
serially numbered USDA identification ear tags.
(3) The USDA backtag is adopted by the
Department of Livestock as an official animal identification tag for market
cattle identification (MCI).
(4)
The unauthorized removal of any identification provided for under this rule is
prohibited.
