Access across private land is not permitted unless there is a right of way or permission is granted by the owner. Hunters should also comply with closed gate signs. The rule is to leave the gate as found. If the gate is open, leave it open, it may be the only way livestock can reach a stream or water tank. If it is closed, close it... livestock grazing may need to be contained. Some sheep and cattle may still be on the range through the deer hunting season. Hunters should be very sure of their targets and avoid shooting around livestock. Be sure to dress appropriately for the cold, and have a safe and enjoyable hunt.

Continued on Page 2 New regulations must be met to ship all cattle The Utah Deaprtment of Agriculture issued a reminder to cattle growers that all heifer calves need to be vaccinated for brucellosis. Heifers being weaned need the vaccination in order to comply with the new regulations. Dr. Michael Marshall, assistant state veterinarian said, New brucellosis regulations have been adopted and are now in place. The major points of the new regulations that affect movement of cattle within Utah are: 1. All heifer calves between the months shall be ages of vaccinated for brucellosis before change of ownership at the owners expense. 2. Utah origin female cattle which have been vaccinated for brucellosis as calves, can be sold or moved within the state without being blood 4-- i tested for brucellosis. 3. Utah origin female cattle which have NOT been vaccinated for brucellosis as calves, must be blood tested for brucellosis before change of ownership. 4. Utah origin bulls DO NOT need to be blood tested before change of ownership, as long as they are staying in Utah. 5. Once a heifer, cow or bull has entered a Qualified feedlot, that animal MAY NOT go back into the stocker market; but the animal can go only to slaughter. Evenif a heifer has been vaccinated and enters a qualified feedlot, she still goes only to slaughter. Qualified feedlots are not trader markets. 6. As always cattle need brand inspection before movement. 7. Veterinarians, Brand inspectors, and livestock auction markets will help monitor these regulations. ,rFor cattle movement out of state the major points are: 1. Cattle must meet the entry requirements of the state of destination. Call your local vet for a health certificate and he will inform you of that states entry regulations. 2. All female cattle born after July BE 1, 1984 which enter Utah, MUST brucellosis. for vaccinated Copies of the complete regulations are available upon request. Call Dr. Marshall at Dr. Marshall urges All producers to vaccinate all of their heifer two-wa- y calves so theyll have almost sold be can that cattle anywhere in the United States. As heifer calves are weaned each fall they should be vaccinated for brucellosis. This will help Utah remain a brucellosis free state. 533-410- 5. HERE COMES THE PARADE!
