Statute 47-441: Same; unlawful to remove cattle from area without
inspection certificate; exceptions.
It shall be unlawful for any person in any brand inspection area,
including the owner of cattle, the shipper, motor carrier, railroad
company, other carrier or corporation, or the agent or servant of any
such person, carrier or corporation, to move, drive, ship or transport,
in any manner, any cattle from any point in a brand inspection area, to
any point outside such area other than another brand inspection area,
unless such cattle shall have first been inspected for brands by the
state livestock commissioner, the
commissioner's inspectors
or examiners, or some person deputized by the
commissioner to perform such inspection, unless such cattle are
accompanied by a brand inspection certificate. The livestock
commissioner and the commissioner's inspectors and
deputies may give permission for such movement of cattle without
inspection when: (1) There is no change of ownership involved; or (2)
shipment of such cattle is to a market where Kansas brand inspection is
maintained. No such inspection shall be required in any case where any
such cattle are being moved from a feedlot the operator of which has been
licensed pursuant to
K.S.A. 47-1503 and amendments thereto. It shall
be unlawful for any motor carrier, railroad company or other carrier
transporting any cattle from any brand inspection area to any market
to permit the owner, the shipper or the party in charge of cattle to change
the billing from consignation point to a point other than to a market
where Kansas brand inspection is maintained, unless such carrier has or
first secures an authorized brand inspection certificate for such cattle.
