345 IAC 7-3.5-11 Scales

Sec. 11. Whenever livestock is weighed incidentally to purchase or sale at a market facility in Indiana, a scale ticket shall be issued by the agent performing the weighing service. The scale ticket shall clearly indicate the following: (1) The marketing agency. (2) The consignor or seller. (3) The buyer. (4) The recorded weight of the animal. (5) The amount of dockage (if any). (6) The initials of the person who weighed the livestock. No change in weight shall be shown on any scale ticket except upon reweighing of the animal. In the event an error, other than in the weight, in recording is made when preparing the scale ticket, a corrected scale ticket showing the correction and the reason for such correction shall be made and affixed to the original incorrect ticket provided, however, that the name of the buyer need not be recorded on the scale ticket when the livestock is weighed prior to sale and where the marketing agency maintains the basic records of the transaction that fully disclose the name of the buyer.
