North Dakota Century Code Title 36. Livestock § 36-15-21. Calfhood vaccination against brucellosis required--Penalty

1. A person may not bring into this state or receive from outside this state any female cattle over the maximum vaccination age prescribed in the brucellosis eradication uniform methods and rules approved by the United States department of agriculture's animal and plant health inspection service unless the cattle have been officially calfhood vaccinated against brucellosis or a waiver has been granted by the board in accordance with section 36-15-21.1. This subsection does not apply if the cattle originate from a free state, a United States possession, or a Canadian province or territory, which does not place requirements on North Dakota-origin female cattle regarding calfhood brucellosis vaccinations or brucellosis testing before entry.

2. A person who brings female cattle into this state from a reciprocating free state, United States possession, or Canadian province or territory shall prove that the cattle were located in that state, possession, province, or territory for a period of at least sixty days.

3. For purposes of this section, “officially calfhood vaccinated” means a female bovine vaccinated against brucellosis as prescribed in the brucellosis eradication uniform methods and rules approved by the United States department of agriculture's animal and plant health inspection service.

4. In addition to other penalties provided in this chapter, a person who violates this section is guilty of a class A misdemeanor.
