Okla. Stat. tit. 2, § 2-6-145: Movement of animals into state - Testing – Owner

responsibilities - Assistance from sheriff - Fees.

Animals shall be moved or allowed to move into the State of

Oklahoma only in accordance with rules promulgated by the State

Board of Agriculture and regulations of the United States Department

of Agriculture. It shall be the duty of each owner or person in

control of animals in this state to present all animals for testing

when notified by the State Veterinarian or the authorized agent of

the State Veterinarian. The owner or person in control of the

animals shall render any assistance in restraining the animals

required by the State Veterinarian or the authorized agent of the

State Veterinarian. If the owner or person in control neglects or

refuses to present the animals for testing or adequately assist in

restraining them, the State Veterinarian or the authorized agent of

the State Veterinarian may call upon the sheriff of the county for

any necessary assistance. The sheriff shall be paid for the work

the same fees as are collected for the execution of a writ of

attachment. Unless the fees are paid immediately by the owner or

person in control, the sheriff may seize as many of the animals as

are necessary for the payment of the fees, and after ten (10) days

shall sell the animals to recover the fees and costs accrued.
