The Department in addition thereto, or in lieu of the above procedures relating to handling of notices or orders, may mail or give such notice, order or document to the person on a ranch, farm or other place, who is in control or possession of livestock.

The State Brucellosis Classification, assigned to the State of Oregon by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is dependent upon the effective control and eradication of brucellosis in the state’s cattle, swine and goats. In OAR 603-011-0500 (Definitions) to 603-011-0570 (Miscellaneous Provisions), the Department has adopted the Uniform Methods and Rules as the minimum standards for maintaining the effective control and eradication of brucellosis in this state, and the Department from time to time will adopt any subsequent changes made to the federal rules. However, should any of the provisions of OAR 603-011-0500 (Definitions) to 603-011-0570 (Miscellaneous Provisions) be more restrictive or exacting than the Uniform Methods and Rules, such provisions shall take precedence over the federal rules.
