The first person to be convicted of breaking the Livestock Premises Registration Law has been ordered to pay nearly $400.
Thirty-nine-year-old Patrick Monchilovich of Cumberland was found guilty by a Polk County judge last Wednesday.
Monchilovich was convicted for not registering his property where he was keeping cattle.
The Premises Registration Law went into effect in November of 2005. The law requires that any property where livestock are being held needs to be registered in a central database and assigned a number.
The point of the law is that when there is a disease outbreak, state animal health experts can look at the database to quickly find susceptible animals for testing.
The system is designed to protect animals and public health.
