Change testing/keep ID requirements
 

I support a change to livestock regulations removing the unnecessary and expensive tests for camelids.

I agree that Certificates of Veterinary Inspection and permanent identification should be required for:

All camelids crossing the state line into VA to protect our static livestock herds from uncontrolled introduction of disease from outside the state.
