29 CFR 780.327 - Production of livestock.

  • Section Number: 780.327
  • Section Name: Production of livestock. 
    For an employee to be engaged in the production of livestock, he 
must be actively taking care of the animals or standing by in readiness 
for that purpose. Thus, such activities as herding, handling, 
transporting, feeding, watering, caring for, branding, tagging, 
protecting, or otherwise assisting in the raising of livestock and in 
such immediately incidental duties as inspecting and repairing fences, 
wells, and windmills would be considered as the production of livestock. 
On the other hand, such work as terracing, reseeding, haying, and 
constructing dams, wells, and irrigation ditches would not be considered 
as the production of livestock within the meaning of the exemption.
