Rodeo Bull Lots

 
Rodeo bull lots are facilities which have been approved under IDAPA 02.04.29 “Rules Governing Trichomoniasis” to confine bulls which have not been tested for trichomoniasis (trich) and are going to be used solely for rodeo purposes.  These bulls are not allowed to co-mingle with female cattle, however, they may be removed for breeding after 3 negative trich PCR tests.
 
Idaho currently has very few rodeo bull lots, all of which renew April 1st every year.  Existing rodeo bull lots are sent renewal packets in March and require a current inspection from one of our Livestock Investigators.  These packets include the pertinent sections of IDAPA 02.04.29 as well as an application that needs to be completed in full.  A list of the current rodeo bull lots can be obtained by calling ISDA at (208) 332-8540.  If you want your facility to be a new rodeo bull lot, first complete and submit your application to ISDA.  Once your application is received, the area inspector will contact you to schedule an inspection.
