Wyoming Livestock Board

The Wyoming Livestock Board is a state government entity registered in SAM.gov since 2005, serving as a critical agricultural oversight organization for Wyoming's livestock sector. Located in Cheyenne, Wyoming, the organization works closely with federal agencies to support animal health, disease surveillance, and agricultural protection initiatives. Primarily operating through cooperative agreements with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS), the Wyoming Livestock Board plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and economic viability of Wyoming's livestock industries, including cattle, swine, and other agricultural animal sectors.

Through a series of federal grant awards, the Wyoming Livestock Board has consistently delivered comprehensive animal health services across multiple critical domains. These services include collaborative disease surveillance activities, brucellosis testing, electronic livestock identification management, disease traceability programs, and emergency response efforts for animal disease outbreaks. Specific grant-funded projects have focused on avian, cattle, equine, cervid, and small ruminant health initiatives, with recent awards totaling significant funding amounts such as $216,773 for disease control activities and $125,000 for disease traceability and program management. The organization has also engaged in sub-grant partnerships, notably with Colorado State University, to develop educational materials and training sessions for small flock owners in rural and underserved areas, demonstrating a commitment to comprehensive agricultural health and community engagement. These efforts are primarily funded through USDA APHIS's Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care program, highlighting the Wyoming Livestock Board's critical role in protecting state and national agricultural interests.
