Food and Agricultural Code § 10384

If any owner or person that is in charge of cattle, after 10 days’ written notice by the department, refuses properly to confine in corrals, stanchions, or chutes, any cattle within a brucellosis control area which are required to be tested and identified pursuant to this chapter, the owner is guilty of a misdemeanor and the department may in such case incur such expense as is necessary to properly confine and identify the cattle.
