Medicated Feeds & Drugs

It is a Federal requirement that all sellers must comply with all label directions as related to medicated feeds and drugs for slaughter animals. Clallam County Junior Livestock Auction reserves the right to administer drug testing to any animal of any species that has been entered to participate in this Auction. The time of possible drug testing can run from Pre weigh-in/Entry until the time of cut & wrap. If drug testing is to occur, the owner of the animal will be notified and be present during sample collection. Testing and collection will be administered by independent professional 3rd parties with no affiliation to the CCJLA or any of its officers or any of the participants of the CCJLA. The cost of this testing will be the responsibility of the CCJLA unless there is a positive result. If there is a positive result the owner will bear the cost of testing. If a positive result occurs, the following consequences will apply: If the animal has not yet sold, it will not sell. If the animal has already sold, the sale will be voided and the animal will be returned to the owner, dead or alive.
