Oregon Livestock Transportation Handbook
Introduction (This text is page 1 of handbook)
Livestock Identification requirements have been mandated through the Oregon Legislature by the Livestock Industry in an effort to deter theft.
1. How do livestock stops and Livestock Transportation Report writing aid in theft enforcement and prevention? The thief is most vulnerable when transporting stolen cattle on a public thoroughfare.
2. Chapters 596, 599, 603, 604, and 607 of the Oregon Revised Statutes give the Oregon Department of Agriculture the responsibility of protecting the livestock industry from health-related problems as well as preventing theft of livestock.
3. Detection and enforcement of Oregon Revised Statutes sections enacted to protect the livestock industry can be evidenced from the paperwork required to accompany the load.
4. Violations consist of misdemeanors and felonies.
5. Local Brand Supervisors and Brand Inspectors are available to assist in your investigations and to assist in finding facilities to provide the care for animals in the event of a seizure.
6. This handbook was compiled for use as a field reference guide.
