The "scale" of the operation has NOTHING to do with it......
by Greg.
and I was a holder of a USDA permit for many years. The "scale" of the operation has nothing to do with it. The holder of the permit is suppose to know the requirements of the APHIS rules and is held accountable for them. I was inspected by both State and Federal Inspectors and had MINOR infractions noted.....things like replac the rubber door mat to the outside run area. I had NO infractions that affected the health of either the animals, the community or the creek that ran behind my property. Be forwarned that you are NOT talking to a bunch of rookies when dealing with USDA permits. It would seem that the same can not be said of the Waystation or Tippi.
