§ 10354 Dairy Calf Vaccination Enforcement

Food and Agricultural Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

If a dairy calf owner doesn’t put a calf in a pen or stall after getting a 10‑day written warning, the state can pay to vaccinate and tag the calf.

Key Takeaways

•The department must give a written notice giving the owner 10 days to confine the calf.
•If the owner refuses to confine the calf, the department can spend money to vaccinate and ID the animal.
•The law applies to any calf that must be vaccinated and identified under the related chapter.

Example

A farmer gets a letter saying he must keep his newborn calf in a fenced area within 10 days. He ignores the letter and lets the calf roam free.

Because the farmer didn’t follow the warning, the state can step in and pay for the calf’s vaccine and identification tag, even though the farmer didn’t do it himself.
