I am wanted to take a few head of cattle from North Carolina to Texas. What do I need in the way of health papers? If I need anything at all.

TT there are some diseases that have been successfully eradicated, or have not reached certain states. By making sure that the cattle coming into said states are free from those diseases, they are keeping their animals safer.TennesseeTuxedo":32hjm35t said:The question that pops into my head is "why?"

Kind of like making sure that people coming into the US aren't bringing Ebola to us!
If you get pulled over and do not have transport, brand inspection and health papers on your livestock........you have just lost them.
I have always had them check at the border crossing over also.

During the height of the drought in texas, there were cattle being sold and hauled into Missouri. Friend of mine bought 4-5 pot loads of bred middle aged cows from texas back then.TennesseeTuxedo":1mxp7gkb said:The "WHY" is as in "why would you haul cattle that far to begin with?"

A couple of years ago I bought some cows with calves from a dispersal sale in tennesee. They kept getting stuck by bad weather. Took 4 days, each night he would unload at a salebarn for the night. Feed And water them then load and haul again the next day.TennesseeTuxedo":12g4pgyy said:dun":12g4pgyy said:During the height of the drought in texas, there were cattle being sold and hauled into Missouri.

That I understand. I was just curious as to the strategy here.
I was born in Greensboro, NC and when I was a kid we moved to Dallas. I made the drive many, many times and it is a very LONG one. We normally broke it into to 2 days.

I know a few people that tried to bring cows into our area from other parts and couldn't keep weight on them .. I know you can take cows from here to central / west texas and they do fine.
