§ 35-53-131 — Sheep inspection districts

(1) The board of county
commissioners of any county, upon petition of at least fifty-one percent of the
sheep growers of the county, shall request the board to designate such county as a
sheep inspection district. The board shall duly authorize a brand inspector to
inspect sheep moving from range to range, or any migratory movement of sheep,
through such counties.

(2) The authorized brand inspector shall inspect such transitory sheep for a
brand or earmarks, and the owner of sheep so inspected shall be given an
inspection certificate stating the time and place of inspection.

(3) Any sheep owner in a county designated as a sheep inspection district
shall notify the board, or its duly authorized inspector, seven days in advance of any
movement of sheep from one range to another. Such inspector shall then designate
a corral, convenient to the route to be taken by such band of sheep, where
inspection shall be made.
