(2) In order to qualify for recognition of an out-of-state grazing permit, the following conditions shall be met:

(b) The grazing permit must have been issued to the person requesting its recognition and apply to the cattle desired to be transported into this state;

(c) All breeding bulls, 18 months of age and over, entering Oregon as part of a herd that is requesting recognition of an out-of-state grazing permit, must have one negative qPCR trichomoniasis test within the 12 months preceding entry;

(d) Any herd in which trichomoniasis has been diagnosed within the past 24 months is ineligible for recognition of a grazing permit;

(e) All out-of-state grazing permits shall include an attached copy of the trichomoniasis test record that includes the permanent identification number of the bull(s) tested and the name and telephone number of the testing certified veterinarian; and

(f) A written agreement must be in effect between this Department and the comparable agency of the state issuing the grazing permit, wherein reciprocal recognition is given to the grazing permits of the respective states and their administrative requirements and conditions for the issuance of the permits.

(3) An application for recognition of an out-of-state grazing permit shall be on a form prescribed by the Department, shall be submitted to the Department at least 14 days prior to the intended movement of the cattle herd, and shall be accompanied by a certified or duplicate-original copy of the out-of-state grazing permit issued to the applicant.
