If the proposed legislation is adopted, the Wyoming Livestock Board would lose federal grant funds allocated through a cooperative agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture, which are used to fund Wyoming's participation in the National Animal Identification system, as well as 2 (two) AWEC positions and to support the brand inspection program. The annual loss of these federal grant funds is estimated at $270,000 per fiscal year.
