If livestock shipped from the livestock ownership inspection area are consigned to an open market, as described in § 40-20-6, it is a Class 2 misdemeanor for any person to change the consignment to a point other than a livestock market previously designated by the board as an open market, unless the livestock receive a livestock ownership inspection and the carrier receives a certificate or clearance from the board showing that all the livestock belong to the shipper.
