Annual Dealer Business Report Form
Persons who buy and resell livestock are required to post a bond and be licensed with UDAF. This protects producers from unwarranted hazard and loss in the sale of their livestock.
This program is specific to producers of livestock. There is a requirement to post a bond, with a minimum amount of $10,000. This bond can be filed upon, in the event that the livestock is not paid for.
The United States Department of Agriculture Packers and Stockyards Administration (PSD) also regulate livestock dealers. The applicant must register and bond with GIPSA. The Commissioner will be named as the trustee of the bond, and the state will license the applicant to do business in Utah.
