USDA License/ Breeding/Selling - 12/10/08 10:07 PM
Okay so the USDA confuses me somewhat.
You can breed 3 or fewer females without a license (legally) BUT you can not obtain a license until you have 4 or more breeding females (which is illegal)....
See where the confusion is?
In order for you to get a USDA License you must in turn break the law...
And.. If you do have more then 3 breeding females then do you have to hold on to the babies that are produced until you get your actual license in the mail which could take up to a year. So then you have to keep the babies for all of those litters while waiting or you're breaking the law.
Or separate the males from the females while waiting but that causes problems and I don't think it's a good idea.
How many of you actually don't sell joeys while waiting for your USDA license and how many of you sell them anyway?
I'm just trying to figure all of this out because with my luck, I'll be the only one to get fined for selling joeys while waiting for the license in the mail when no one else does. (I'm kinda unlucky that way lol)
What did all of you guys do and how was the process?
I'm still waiting on my packet.
