transporting across state lines?

[Z&J Cattle]

I have a question about transporting cattle across state lines. If a person were to buy cows in Texas and take them back home to Arkansas, what type of documentation (if any) would be required to accompany the cattle? Thanks in advance

Talk to your vet to find out the state requirements. Every state is different. Chances are you'd need a bill of sale, brand inspection, health certificate, and possibly TB and/or brucellosis test results.

Exactly. Plus your vet will have or be able to get the forms you will need.

Milkmaid's right,

Here's the regulations for Louisiana:

Officially, you will have to meet the requirements of every state you pass through. Not sure which way your travelling, but that could mean Texas, Louisiana/Oklahoma (depending on which way your going), and Arkansas.
