Sec. 50.9  Appraisals.

    Cattle, bison, captive cervids, or swine to be destroyed because of 
tuberculosis under Sec. 50.3 shall be appraised within 15 days after 
being classified as affected or after otherwise being condemned because 
of tuberculosis, except that the appropriate Veterinarian in Charge, for 
reasons satisfactory to him, may extend the time limit for appraisal to 
30 days when a request for such extension is received by him prior to 
the expiration date of the original 15-day period allowed, and the 
Administrator may extend the time limit for appraisal beyond 30 days, 
upon request in specific cases and for reasons satisfactory to him. The 
appraisal shall be by an independent professional appraiser at the 
expense of APHIS, except that the veterinarian in charge may waive the 
requirement for independent professional appraiser for reasons 
satisfactory to him. When cattle, bison, captive cervids, or swine are 
thus appraised, due consideration shall be given to their breeding value 
as well as to their dairy or meat value. Cattle, bison, captive cervids, 
or swine presented for payment as registered shall be accompanied by 
their registration papers. If the registration papers are temporarily 
not available, or if the cattle, bison, captive cervids, or swine are 
less than 3 years old and unregistered, the appropriate Veterinarian in 
Charge may grant a reasonable time for the presentation of their 
registration papers. APHIS may decline to accept any appraisal that 
appears to be unreasonable or out of proportion to the value of cattle, 
bison, captive cervids, or swine of like quality.
