Nevada and Idaho have entered an agreement allowing for the movement of unvaccinated cattle between the two states for grazing purposes.Â
The Nevada Department of Ag says the agreement is in response to the ongoing shortage of the brucellosis RB51 vaccine "which has significantly hindered livestock producers' ability to meet mandatory brucellosis vaccination requirements for interstate movement."
"The agreement is only for cattle affected by the vaccine shortage over the last 12 months and does not apply to cattle over the age of 18 months. Under the terms of the agreement, producers can call and request a permit to transport non-vaccinated cattle between Idaho and Nevada, ensuring that cattle can access their grazing allotments despite their non-vaccinated status. The agreement is designed to protect both the health of the cattle and the interests of producers in a controlled and regulated manner."
