(a) Official premises identification is required for sexually intact sheep to be exhibited. For goats, the registration tattoo may be used in lieu of the eartag if the registration papers are in accompaniment of the animals.
(b) All female animals over 12 months of age (as evidenced by the eruption of the first pair of incisors) shall be penned separately from animals from different flocks. All animals enrolled in the Scrapie Flock Certification Program shall be handled in such a way that direct contact does not occur with animals from other flocks of lower status. Spacing or solid partitions may be used to maintain separation.
(c) If sheep or goats within 30 days pre- or post-parturition, or have a vaginal discharge, are allowed to show, special arrangements shall be made to keep them separate from animals from different flocks and in an area that can and will be properly disinfected, in accordance with 9CFR 54.7.
