What if I don't have animals anymore at my feedlot or what if I sold my feedlot to someone else?
Contact the Feedlot Office and let them know the date you last had animals. If you sold your animals to someone else, that person will need to fill out a Change of Ownership form. This form is available in the Feedlot Office.
No, your registration will be good for five (5) years from the date that you last had animals.
If your infrastructure is still in place after five (5) years, you will still be able to bring back your registration. but if you take the infrastructure out and want to start over after five (5) years, you must meet all of the Zoning Setbacks.
