New Mexico Livestock Board

SERVING NEW MEXICO SINCE 1887

WELCOME TO THE NMLB HOME PAGE
As part of the oldest law enforcement agency in the State of New Mexico, the men and women of the New Mexico Livestock Board serve and protect an industry that has been operating in the western territory of what is now the United States for over 400 years. Though New Mexico did not become a state until 1912, our agency was formed in 1887 as the Cattle Sanitary Board, the Sheep Sanitary Board subsequently forming in 1889. The two organizations merged in 1967, becoming the New Mexico Livestock Board which continues today as an agency of the State of New Mexico. Our mission is to protect the integrity of New Mexico's livestock industry. Our team of about sixty full time inspectors and another sixty full and part time deputies continuously patrol and perform inspections around our state to help keep our livestock free from disease and safe from theft. We are also the office of the State Veterinarian. Dr. Dave Fly and his team of veterinarians collaborate with various government and private sector partners to ensure that our state remains free of diseases.

NEW MEXICO BOVINE TB STATUS NOW "ACCREDITED FREE" STATEWIDE
SUMMARY FROM THE USDA: We are amending the bovine tuberculosis regulations regarding State and zone classifications by reclassifying a zone in New Mexico consisting of Curry and Roosevelt Counties. We have determined that the zone meets the criteria for accredited-free status. Since the remainder of the State is already classified as accredited free, the entire State of New Mexico is now classified as accredited free. This action relieves certain restrictions on the interstate movement of cattle and bison from Curry and Roosevelt Counties in New Mexico. DATES: This interim rule is effective October 4, 2011. We will consider all comments that we receive on or before December 5, 2011.

BRAND AND INSPECTION FEE UPDATES
New fees are being implemented for brand rerecord fees and inspection fees. Effective September 15, 2010 The service fee charged for each field inspected conducted is $10. This fee is for each inspection of 1 head and up, replacing the former $5 fee for 1 to 10 head. It is now a $10 flat rate for each inspection regardless of head count. The single exception to this increase is in the case of youth exhibitions when the animals are congregated at a prearranged site. In that circumstance, the service fee remains $5. The per-animal inspection fees remain the same. Effective July 1st, 2011 The brand rerecord fee increased from $75 to $100 for the 3-year period. New brand applications and brand registration transfers will also be $100.
