Updated Owner Shipper Statement
Good morning,
I have attached an updated version of the owner shipper statement (OSS) with updated email addresses for some states.
Dairy cattle who have an approved USDA back tag can move on an OSS direct to slaughter with the permission of the receiving state. I have attached a contact list of all state veterinary offices for your convenience. Please contact the destination state of the shipment for absolute clarity. If in doubt, a certificate of veterinary inspection (CVI) with official individual identification numbers (EID tags or NUES tags, not a back tag) listed on it can be used.
Please send completed owner shipper statements to our office at animal.health@tn.gov and to the destination state at the email listed on the attached form.
If you have any questions, please reach out to our office at 615-837-5120. You may also contact Billy Graham, USDA Animal ID Coordinator at 615-210-0617.
Thank you.
