Section 40-7-19.1 - Quarantine of market consignment when reactor found--Disposition of animals. - South Dakota Statutes

40-7-19.1. Quarantine of market consignment when reactor found--Disposition of animals. If a consignment of cattle or bison is tested for brucellosis at any market and a reactor to the brucellosis test is disclosed, none of the animals in that consignment may be passed as clean animals to become part of a breeding herd, but rather, they shall either be sold for slaughter, returned to the point of origin and held in isolation until they have passed a negative test at least one hundred eighty days after the reactor has been removed or they may be sold. However, after their sale, they shall be transported, under quarantine, directly into a feed lot or isolation and remain in such feed lot or isolation until retest or until they are sold for slaughter. If any person must disperse his herd by sale and if, in the opinion of the Animal Industry Board, the procedure provided for in this section would cause undue hardship, the Animal Industry Board may, in their discretion, provide for other means for handling the negative animals in question.
