313.2
On Wednesday, January 17, 2024 at approximately 0900 hours while performing verification activities for the Livestock Humane Handling HATS category 3, Water and Feed Availability, I, SPHV Dr. REDACTED, observed the following noncompliance. During ante-mortem inspection, 2 cattle were unloaded into the holding pen. There was a bucket within the pen, but no water was provided. This is a violation of 9 CFR 313.2 which states: “Animals shall have access to water in all holding pens.” When asked why no water was present, Mr. REDACTED, Owner, notified me that the pipes outside had frozen overnight so no water was placed into the bucket. I informed Mr. REDACTED that the animals on the property must have access to water at all times. Mr. REDACTED immediately had two establishment employees clean the bucket and provide water to the cattle in the pens resulting in a return to compliance with 9 CFR 313.2.
