Sheep found to be infected with or exposed to scabies shall be immediately dipped, as directed by and under the supervision of the department, at owner's expense. Such sheep shall remain under quarantine until released by the department, except that sheep infected with or exposed to scabies may be moved, without dipping, directly to a slaughter establishment under federal inspection, under permit from the department. No sheep shall be moved into or within the state of Iowa for any purpose except as provided in this chapter and the regulations of the department, provided sheep may be moved without dipping between properties owned or rented by the owner of said sheep, if not moved from a noncertified scabies-free area to a certified scabies-free area.
Any person may sell or exchange sheep on the farm between November 1 and April 1 without dipping if accompanied by a certificate from a licensed veterinarian that they are free from scabies issued within ten days prior to such sale or exchange until such time as the county is declared a scabies-free area.
