Hauling livestock across state lines generally requires official individual identification for the animals, a valid Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI or health paper) issued by an accredited veterinarian, and compliance with specific entry requirements of the destination state. Requirements vary by species, age, and purpose (e.g., slaughter, breeding, or exhibition).
Key Requirements for Interstate Movement
Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI): Often called a "health paper," this must be issued within 30 days of shipment by an accredited veterinarian.
Official Identification: Animals must have USDA-approved tags (such as 840 RFID tags), breed association tattoos, or brands to ensure traceability.
Cattle/Bison: Generally required for those over 18 months, dairy cattle, and rodeo/show animals.
Horses: Usually require a CVI and a negative Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA or Coggins) test.
Swine/Sheep/Goats: Must be identified; sheep and goats often require scrapie tags.
Destination State Regulations: Always check the specific requirements of the receiving state, as they may require entry permits.
Brand Inspection: In many Western states, proof of ownership or a brand inspection is required.
Transportation Regulations: The 28-Hour Law requires that animals are not confined for more than 28 consecutive hours without being unloaded for water, food, and rest.
For specific, up-to-date requirements, it is best to check Interstatelivestock.com or contact the state veterinarian’s office in both the origin and destination states.
