(b) Examine each completed declaration of livestock and sheep and the report to determine its accuracy, and if there is any evidence that any information is inaccurate or incomplete, may change and correct any listing as to number, kind, classification, ownership or location by adding thereto or deducting therefrom as necessary to make the report complete and accurate.
2. The Department may verify the number of livestock or sheep by any reasonable means, including actual count at any reasonable time.
