313.2
HATS Category III: Water and Feed Availability On Tuesday, December 10, 2024, at approximately 0915 hours while performing ante-mortem inspection, the SPHV and CSI observed that Pen 1 containing one bull did not have a water trough available. Pen 2 containing two steers had two water troughs that were frozen over with no access to water. This is noncompliant with Title 9 CFR 313.2. The CSI and SPHV verbally informed the QA Manager of the noncompliance, and water was provided to both pens, therefore no regulatory control action was taken. The Denver District Veterinary Medical Specialist was notified through supervisory channels. The establishment operates under a robust systematic approach to the humane handling of livestock. There have been no noncompliance records issued for the same root cause in the last 90 days. This NR serves as written notification of the noncompliance.
