Annual Livestock Scale Inspection

Annual livestock scale inspections for 2019 are right around the corner. The New Mexico Department of Agriculture (NMDA), Standards and Consumer Services Division is currently accepting livestock scale inspection requests through March 31, 2019.

We would appreciate your assistance in promoting our new livestock scale inspection program. If your constituent submitted a routine livestock scale inspection application they should have received an email confirming their enrollment in the program and no further action is required on their part. Their scale(s) will be inspected on a yearly basis. 

If they would like to be part of the routine inspection program and did not submit the required paperwork, they can submit their application to our office via fax, email or mail. Livestock scale owners who do not want to be part of the routine program can continue to contact our office annually, before the March 31 deadline.

Due to the cost of the program, NMDA conducts inspection of livestock scales by request only. Requests made after the March 31^st deadline will incur a fee based on our current fee schedule.  We have attached the information regarding our livestock scale inspection program.

Again, we appreciate your assistance in publicizing the livestock scale inspection program in your county and thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions, feel free to call our office at 575-646-1616.
