Latest NewsLast updated: Thursday, June 17th, 2010ATTENTION ALL HORSE & DAIRY & GOAT OWNERS: WE WILL NOT BE HAVING A HORSE, DAIRY OR GOAT SALE ON SATURDAY JULY 31ST. THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT THE SLAUGHTER REGULATIONS TO TRANSPORT HORSES IS SAYING THAT EFFECTIVE JULY 31, 2010, ALL HORSES THAT GO TO SLAUGHTER WILL NEED TO HAVE VACCINATION AND DETAILED HORSE INFORMATION ON EACH HORSE BEFORE THEY WILL LET THEM CROSS THE BORDERS. WE HAVE GOTTEN DOCUMENTATION ON THIS AND IT INVOLVES 3 1/2 PAGES FOR CANADA AND 1 PAGE FOR MEXICO. THIS MEANS THAT EVERY HORSE THAT IS UNLOADED HERE FOR SLAUGHTER WILL NEED TO HAVE 4 1/2 PAGES OF DETAILED PAPERWORK FILLED OUT AND IN OFFICE BEFORE THEY CAN BE SOLD. NONE OF THIS HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY FINALIZED SO UNTIL WE GET FINAL PAPERWORK REQUIREMENTS, WE WILL HOLD OFF ON THE HORSE SALES. OUR FEELING IS THAT THEY MAY PAY PASS THIS 1 OR 2 DAYS BEFORE A SALE AND HERE WE ARE SCRAMBLING TO GET EXTRA HELP LINED UP TO TAKE CARE OF ALL OF THIS, WHICH WOULD NOT BE PLEASANT FOR US AS WELL AS OUR CONSIGNORS. PLEASE BEAR WITH US. WE WILL KEEP YOU POSTED ON ANY NEW UPDATES AND SALE DATES. Kist Livestock Auction Company
