Farm Animal Liability Act Sign
Farm Animal Liability Act Sign
Farm Animal Liability Act Sign
This sign is critical for farm and ranch owners. Previously, farm and ranch owners and lessees were not required to hang the sign. Now, however, they will need to do so. Moreover, because the statutory language required for the sign has been changed (by including farm owners or lessees to the list of those protected and adding the language about independent contractors or employees), farm animal professionals and farm and ranch owners may want to obtain signs with this new language out of an abundance of caution.
Once the signs are posted in the proper place, the landowner's work is done. $25 Donation.
