Vesicular Stomatitis-New Mexico 

 The New Mexico Livestock Board is relaxing the movement and health care restrictions on all counties in New Mexico except Los Alamos and Taos counties.

 There are ongoing investigations and Quarantines in Los Alamos and Taos Counties. Movement
restrictions and Five Day Certificates of Veterinary Inspection for events in these counties or livestock traveling out of these counties will remain in effect.

 Persons with livestock traveling out of state from Los Alamos and Taos counties must obtain permission from state of destination prior to movement.


Canada and other states may continue restrictions on New Mexico Livestock movement for an indefinite period of time. All New Mexico producers and veterinarians must contact state of destination prior to movement.
