Triumph of Sheep Men in Idaho Court Ruling
In Boise the district court ruled the state veterinarian law unconstitutional but the decision was upheld by the Idaho Supreme Court. The ruling wipes out the live flock sanitary board and the state veterinarian office while reviving the old state sheep inspection act. The case arose over an order requiring dipping of sheep south of the Salmon River before driving from summer range. A committee of sheepmen in Washington and Canyon counties objected, arguing their flocks were free of disease and questioning the authority to order a second dipping.
