21231. Unless the shipment is released pursuant to Section 21233 or 21744, no common carrier, or owner or driver of any conveyance shall receive for transporation or transport any cattle until they have been inspected, and the carrier, owner, or driver has been furnished with duplicate brand inspection certificates that are signed by an inspector, which show all of the following: (a) Any brands and marks. (b) The names of the shipper and consignee. (c) The origin and destination of the shipment. 21232. The duplicate brand inspection certificate shall accompany to destination any cattle which are transported over a public thoroughfare. 21233. The chief may release, or provide for the release of, cattle without the inspection which is required by Section 21231, but inspection shall be made en route or at the point of destination. The owner shall keep such cattle segregated until they are inspected. 21236. Any brand inspection certificate which has been altered, defaced, or changed is void.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 21236, it is unlawful for any person to possess, or present to an inspector or any peace officer, any brand inspection certificate that has been altered, defaced, or otherwise changed.
