Summary

Beef and dairy producers occasionally sell a partial interest or a share of a live animal to a customer/consumer. The sale of a live beef or dairy animal that does not involve harvesting or processing of the animal does not require a permit from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. Live animal sales include the sale of a portion or a share of a live animal. It should be noted that there are licensing and bonding requirements for livestock dealers, and there are beef checkoff regulations for live animal sales.
