A person or his agent having in his charge livestock destined for transportation or to be driven beyond the limits of the district or out of this state shall make application to the proper inspector to inspect the livestock, stating in the application the time the livestock will be ready for inspection. An inspector shall inspect the livestock at a location to be designated by the board, make the record and give the certificate required by law to the owner of the livestock; provided that in the case of livestock transported out of this state, the place of inspection shall be at some stockyards or other convenient place near the proposed point of shipment of the livestock from the state. If the owner or person in charge of the livestock causes any unreasonable delay or loss of time to an inspector, the owner or person in charge of the livestock shall pay the expenses and salary of the inspector during the delay or loss of time.
