Buyers are responsible for picking up health papers and/or registration papers at the time of payment. Waterfowl transfers (Sale Notice Form 3-186) must be completed before any North American waterfowl can be removed from the area. This form is proof that the birds were legally obtained.

Birds and animals must be visible and able to stand in cages. Cages for birds constructed of 2” x 2” or 4” x 4” wire will not be accepted. Birds must not be able to stick their heads through the cage wire. To meet the USDA requirements, wire-bottom cages will be accepted if straw or cardboard covers the bottom wire. No cardboard boxes or gunny sacks!!

Cages sell with the animals and birds. Each cage must have a clean feed and water container appropriate for the size & number of birds or animals in the cage. Do not use plastic, paper, or Styrofoam water & feed containers. Hog ring or use a glue gun to secure the containers to the cage. It is the responsibility of the consignor to feed and water his stock daily. Make sure your cages are in compliance with these requirements before you leave home! Cages not in compliance will need to be fixed before we will accept them & you will then be checked in after the person who is being checked in at that time.

Label the cage to indicate the species & number of birds/animals in it. Permit numbers (state and/or waterfowl) as well as the consignor’s state NPIP # must be written on the cage. Sale Notice Form 3-186 must be completed and tuned in to the check-in people at the time North American waterfowl is checked in.
Rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters, etc. must be sold in a solid-bottom cage with bedding.

These cages must also have a handle so that the cage can be moved without one having to put his fingers inside the cage to move it. Nocturnal animals and marsupials, such as hedgehogs and sugar gliders must be be provided with a hiding place. Small reptiles may not be sold in plastic deli cups/buckets.

Incompatible animals can not be held in the same enclosure or placed near other animals that may become stressed due to their presence. Such animals must be held in a manner that ensures the safety of other animals and the public.
KS Animal Health requires that each cage/aviary bird old enough to perch must have its own perch in the cage.

Day-old chicks, turkey poults, goslings, & ducklings can be consigned in hatchery-type boxes provided they are not crowded. Cut out part of the top lid & cover it with screen or very fine wire so the birds can be seen. No paper limsy cardboard boxes will be accepted. Shavings or bedding must be placed in the bottom of the box. Label the box with the number of chicks & the species.

REMEMBER, these are LIVE ANIMALS, all cages should be as humane and safe as possible. The club reserves the right to refuse consignment to anyone who does not meet these cage requirements.

Out of state consignors: To consign birds: you will need (1.) a general health paper, (2.) an NPIP form for chickens, guineas, peafowl, pheasants, & quail, and (3.) an import permit.

Have 2 copies of the health certificate & the 2 legible copies of the NPIP form. Out of state sellers must present the letter with the import permit # issued by the Kansas Animal Health Department before the birds are unloaded, You must show proof of legal ownership, possession, importation and/or other required documentation from the originating state (game breeders’ permit) to sell any species requiring a Kansas Game Breeders’ Permit (See list of birds under Kansas Consignors).

Kansas consignors: To sell chickens, guineas, peafowl, pheasants, & quail, you must present 2 legible copies of the NPIP form before the birds are unloaded. A Kansas Game Breeder’s Permit is needed to sell Ringneck Pheasants, Bobwhite Quail, Scaled Quail, game animals, & fur-bearing animals that are native to Kansas & exist as a wild population. Chicks under 4 months old must be from an NPIP flock. Bring the NPIP form for the breeder birds. The NPIP # must be written on the box.

In order to comply with K. S.A. Article 10 - Public Livestock Markets - Regulations 47-1001 to 47-1013, a separate health paper in triplicate is required for each animal. Health papers must be given to check-in people before animals are unloaded. All tests must be conducted within 30 days of the sale. Cattle, Buffalo, Elk, Goats, & Llamas over 6 months old must have a negative TB and Bangs Test.

All Swine must have a negative Pseudorabis Test. Fur-bearing animals including sheep, ratites, and all birds must have general health papers.

New scapies regulations require that sexually intact sheep & goats sold for breeding be individually identified with a permanent form of identification. This can be done with a flock tag obtained from the premise of origin from the USDA, a USDA approved tag applied & premise of origin recorded at the sale barn or auction, or a registration tattoo. As it is impossible to know that sexually intact sheep & goats sold at an auction will be going directly to slaughter, all sexually intact sheep and goats should be identified. Auction records are available for inspection by USDA & state inspectors for 1 year or more.

Bring your USDA/USDA, state game breeder’s permit, and/or waterfowl permit with you. A USDA license is required for anyone selling exotic wildlife including hedgehogs, short-tail possums, and sugar gliders.
