§19-10-8. Enrollment certificate for bull, ram or boar; record books used.

In order to secure an enrollment certificate for a bull, ram or boar, the owner thereof shall forward the original certificate of its registration in a herd, flock or swine record book, as the case may be, to the office of the commissioner of agriculture, whose duty it shall be to examine and pass upon the correctness or genuineness of such certificate filed for enrollment. In making such examination the commissioner shall use as his standard the record books recognized by the United States department of agriculture, and shall accept and enroll as purebred any animal registered in such record books.
If the commissioner shall find the registration of such bull, ram or boar to be correct and genuine, he shall issue and deliver to the owner of such bull, ram or boar a certificate of enrollment under the seal of the state department of agriculture, which certificate shall set forth the name, breed, age and color of the animal and also the volume and page of the herd, flock or swine record book in which such animal is registered.
