				  for immediate slaughter shall be directly to an approved slaughtering
				  establishment where state or federal inspection is administered. Animals shall
				  be identified by official identification. Use of the "S" brand is required on
				  cattle and bison or animals shipped in a sealed vehicle.
(b) Sale of feeder calves from quarantined
				  herds shall be restricted. Feeder calves under twelve (12) months of age that
				  have passed a caudal fold tuberculin test within sixty (60) days may be
				  permitted to move intrastate to an approved feedlot.
(c) Herds in which mycobacterium bovis
				  infection is confirmed shall remain under quarantine if not depopulated and
				  shall pass two tuberculin tests of intervals of at least sixty (60) days and
				  one (1) additional test after one hundred eighty (180) days. All animals moved
				  from the farm shall be shipped directly to slaughter and shall be accompanied
				  by slaughter permit issued by a state or federal representative.
(d) Herds in which only NGL reactor(s) occur
				  and in which no evidence of mycobacterium bovis infection is disclosed may be
				  released from quarantine after a sixty (60) day negative caudal fold retest of
				  the entire herd.
(e) Suspects in
				  herds where only suspect animals are disclosed shall be quarantined on the
				  premises until retested and classified negative or shipped directly to
				  slaughter under permit. If an animal is slaughtered as a comparative cervical
				  test reactor following two (2) CCT tests as a suspect and shows no gross
				  lesions, results in an entire herd retest at sixty (60) days by caudal fold
				  test and released from quarantine as in 35:15-40-46(d). If animals are
				  slaughtered as suspects, but show no gross lesions, a sixty (60) day herd
				  retest is recommended.
(f) Herds
				  indicated as the source of slaughter trace back case investigations shall be
				  placed under quarantine within thirty (30) days of notification, and a herd
				  test scheduled.
(g) The issuance of
				  a quarantine may be waived if the State Board of Agriculture or the State
