I called the South Dakota animal inspection folks today to get a "Health Certificate" and permit for bringing a bull to South Dakota.
The girl on the phone told me I would need 3 Negative Trich tests before a permit would be issued. I argued with her and told her I didn't have time because I am leaving this Sat. Oct 1. After much haggling they agreed to allow the stud to do the testing after arrival.
Question, when did this rule come about? It must be new because it's not on the vet's "State by State Import" rule sheet. It does not apply to virgin bulls, older bulls only.
Just letting those that live there know, it could save some grief.
