ATCP 10.22 ATCP 10.22 Bovine animals; imports.

ATCP 10.22(1) (1) Certificate of veterinary inspection.

ATCP 10.22(1)(a) (a) Requirement. Except as provided in par. (b), no person may import a bovine animal into this state unless a valid certificate of veterinary inspection accompanies the animal. The certificate shall include all of the following information:

ATCP 10.22(1)(a)1. 1.

ATCP 10.22(1)(a)1.a. a.

Under federal regulations of interstate shipment of steers, beef steers are not required to have official individual identification, but dairy steers are required to have official individual identification. Federal regulations define dairy cattle as all cattle, regardless of age or sex or current use, that are of a breed(s) or offspring of a breed used to produce milk or other dairy products for human consumption. See 9 CFR 86.
