Certified Veterinarians

Legislation in 1998 gave the WSDA authority to certify veterinarians to issue livestock inspection certificates in conjunction with health certificates.  The Livestock Identification Program administers the veterinarian certification program.  Upon certification, veterinarians may perform inspections of cattle and horses at their place of business, at farms or ranches, and other facilities.
