			 flock to be maintained on the site. All offspring must be sent to slaughter by
			 18 months of age (except as noted below), and do not require official ID
			 provided that the slaughter animals move directly to slaughter Adult animals

			 by a distance of 30 feet or by a solid wall that prevents contact or the
			 passage of fluids. Offspring must be identified prior to weaning. Records must
			 account for the arrival and dispersal of each individual animal in the separate
			 flock, and there shall be no identification exemption on these animals.
All three types of approved terminal feedlot premises require
				that all nonidentified feeder animals be moved directly to slaughter, or
				another approved terminal feedlot, prior to 18 months of age. These animals may
				only be sold through a licensed market or licensed dealer if the owner
