Wyoming § 11-20-206

• Jurisdiction: Wyoming
• Title 11: Agriculture, Livestock and Other Animals
• Ch. 20: BRANDS
• Art. 2: INSPECTION FOR BRANDS

Text

(a) Any inspector, upon completing an inspection of
livestock for brands and ownership, shall record the inspection
upon a form furnished by the Wyoming livestock board. When
completed and signed by the inspector and the owner of the
livestock or the owner's designee, the form is a certificate of
inspection authorizing the removal from the county of the
livestock listed. The inspector shall deliver a copy of the
certificate to the person in charge of the livestock. If
movement is to be by truck, a copy of the certificate shall be
delivered by the person in charge of the animals to the driver
or person in charge of the truck or trucks, and shall be kept in
the latter's possession until the livestock are delivered at the
final destination as shown on the certificate of inspection, and
shall be exhibited upon request to any person authorized to
enforce the brand inspection laws of this state.
(b) Failure or refusal by the driver of any vehicle to
exhibit a certificate of inspection or a properly executed
shipper's certificate and agreement or permit listing the
livestock being transported within the state, is justification
for any authorized person to hold the vehicle and the livestock,
at the carrier's or the shipper's expense, until the carrier
establishes his right to transport the livestock. If the carrier
cannot establish his right to transport the livestock within
twelve (12) hours, the vehicle and livestock shall be impounded
as provided by W.S. 11-20-228, pending complete investigation
and disposition as provided by law.
