They cannot be commingled with other species that are not certified. A herd may qualify for status as a certified brucellosis-free cervid herd by complete herd testing or purchase as follows:</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1)&nbsp;&nbsp;Complete cervid herd test: For initial certification all animals in the herd over 12 months of age must have two negative tests 9 to 15 months apart;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (2)&nbsp;&nbsp;Purchasing a certified brucellosis-free cervid herd: A herd test is not required if the purchased animals remain on the same premises. Upon request and with proof of purchase the board shall issue a new certificate in the new owner's name. The anniversary date and the herd number remain the same; or if part or all of the purchased herd is moved directly to premises that have no other Cervidae, the herd may retain certified free status without a test. The Board shall issue a new certification number. The anniversary date of the new herd is the test date of the most recent herd test.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Source:</b> 21 SDR 162, effective March 23, 1995; 27 SDR 96, effective April 1, 2001.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>General Authority:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=40-3-14">40-3-14</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=40-3-25">40-3-25</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=40-3-26">40-3-26</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=40-5-8.6">40-5-8.6.</A></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Law Implemented:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=40-3-14">40-3-14</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=40-5-8">40-5-8</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=40-5-8.2">40-5-8.2</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=40-5-8.3">40-5-8.3</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=40-5-8.4">40-5-8.4</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=40-5-9">40-5-9.</A></p> </div> </body> </html>
