Before any livestock sold pursuant to this chapter is delivered, whether interstate or
intrastate, the livestock must be inspected for health by a veterinarian licensed in this state and
approved by the state board of animal health and, in the case of cattle, for brands by a trained

the state board of animal health. The inspection must take place at the time of the initial delivery
of the livestock. If livestock is destined to be shipped interstate, the authorized veterinarian shall

treatment administered in accordance with the requirements of the state of destination. The
services and duties of the veterinary inspector are under the supervision of the state board of
animal health. Fees for the veterinary inspection must be an amount agreed upon by the
representative and the veterinarian. All fees for veterinary inspection, treatment, and services
must be collected by the representative and paid to the inspector.
