Connecticut General Statutes
Chapter 433 - Diseases of Domestic Animals
Section 22-308. - Permit for importation of cattle and goats.

All neat cattle and goats brought into this state shall be accompanied by a permit obtained from the Commissioner of Agriculture. Such permit shall accompany all waybills or, if the animals are driven over the highways, shall be in the possession of the person in charge of the same. The commissioner may refuse to grant a permit to any person, or any officer or agent of any corporation, who violates any statute or regulation governing the importation of livestock or poultry. Neat cattle and goats brought into this state for the purpose of immediate slaughter upon premises where federal inspection is maintained need not be accompanied by such permit, provided all such cattle or goats transported into this state shall be accompanied by a bill of sale or certificate of assignment, made out by the consignor and showing the name of the consignee and the destination. The owner of each establishment where federal inspection is maintained shall report weekly to the commissioner, upon forms furnished by him, the number of head so imported. Such owner shall also report to said commissioner the ear tag or identification number and the name of the previous owner of all animals purchased within the state and delivered to such establishments.
