Have you had an animal death in the past 24 hours? Act fast.
What to do:
Within 24 hours of an animal death, call a licensed hauler. Make sure you provide the following information:
- directions to your farm,
- method of payment (cash or check),
- type of animal to be picked up (some have restrictions),
- approximate time of death,
- location of the animal on the farm,
- and a phone number where you can be reached.
*A Cause of Animal Death Statement may be required for the removal of more than three animals at one time. This is necessary to prevent the spread of disease and protect animal health. If you have more than three animals to be removed at one time, please contact your veterinarian before calling your hauler. In case of obvious non-disease causes of animal death (drowning, lightning strikes, etc.), the veterinarian may be able to furnish a verbal report to speed up the process of removal.
For extreme weather events, USDA Farm Service Agency offers the Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP). For more information, click here.
*Licensed haulers reserve the right to terminate the program if at any time local, state, or federal regulations are enacted that would prohibit the hauler from dispensing with the animal in the accustomed manner or would adversely affect the day-to-day operations of the hauler.
Reimbursement Program is not currently available through BCCDKY. All funds have been disbursed to qualified Boone County applicants.
