What you will need to know when
transporting livestock in the state of Nevada |
| 1. |
All Regulations apply to both
horses and cattle whether branded or not |
| 2. |
To enter Nevada, you must
comply with your state of origin's requirements for brand inspections. All documents
must adequately identify those animals in your possession. If not, you may be subject to
fines and seizures. Reference:
LINKS LEGAL All STATE BRAND LAWS |
| 3. |
In Nevada, a current valid
brand inspection certificate is required and must be in your possession. If your state of
origin does not require brand inspection on horses, then you should have some proof of
ownership in possession at all times when transporting livestock. |
| 4. |
Lifetime Horse Permits are
available to Nevada residents for $20.00. These permits are issued in lieu of brand
inspection certifications and are good statewide and in California, Oregon, Idaho, Arizona
and Utah.
(Editors note: Lifetime Horse Permits do require a series of photos of
your horse from each side, front, back and any details that show distinguishing markings
on the horse.) |
| 5. |
A current Livestock Health
Certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian is required to enter the State of Nevada. It
must show your animals to be in good health and free from disease. A Coggins test
performed within the previous six months is required on horses. Cattle for sale, show or
remaining in Nevada, require an Entry Permit.
For further information on health requirements contact:
Animal Industry at (702) 688-1182, Ext. 230. |
| 6. |

stop at all Nevada Highway Patrol Commercial Vehicle Inspection Stations.
