§ 21708 Milking Cow Auction Rules

• •If you're selling a milking cow at an auction, you must milk it completely within 12 hours before selling it.
• •This rule is to make sure the cow is not in discomfort or pain when being sold.
• •It's the auctioneer's job to check this happened before selling the cow.

A farmer wants to sell his milking cow at a cattle auction.

Before the auction starts, the farmer must milk the cow completely. If he doesn't, the auctioneer cannot sell the cow. This keeps the cow from being in pain during the sale.
