South Dakota Ranchers Face New Livestock Fee | Sioux Falls News
Starting October 1st, ranchers in 22 South Dakota counties face a 45-cent hike per head on livestock inspection fees—now totaling $1.45—to combat theft and track ownership. Approved after public debate and a legislative green light, the fee represents a compromise between $1.65 and $1.45, with one rancher urging delay due to drought. Officials argue the revenue—projected at over $675K annually—will sustain vital inspection services, while lawmakers say most producers can absorb the cost.
