Public Livestock Markets

 

Public livestock markets are regulated through Title 25, Chapter 17, Idaho Code, “Livestock Markets.” This law requires that any person conducting or operating a public livestock market must first secure a charter from the Idaho State Department of Agriculture.   Application for Charter requires payment of the annual renewal fee of $200 plus a one-time $500 non-refundable Hearing Fee.  Charters expire on April 30th of each year and the annual charter renewal fee is due at this time.  Application for Transfer of a Public Livestock Charter requires payment of the $200 annual charter fee and a $100 processing fee (non-refundable). An additional hearing fee of $150 is required if a protest of the transfer is received by ISDA.  All fees must be made payable to the Idaho State Department of Agriculture and remitted separately.   There are currently 8 chartered public livestock markets in Idaho, all of which are also tagging sites. When releasing animals, livestock markets are responsible for ensuring they are qualified for their destination.

 

ISDA received a Livestock Market Charter Application. Following the hearing procedure, a preliminary order was issued (see below). Since no petitions for reconsideration or review were received, the order becomes final and the market charter will be issued.
