and goats brought into the state for dairy and breeding purposes shall be held in quarantine at the expense of the owner for a period not exceeding sixty days and not released
from such quarantine until they have passed a tuberculin test at the owner's expense
satisfactory to the commissioner, unless the livestock sanitary official of the state from
which such cattle or goats were brought certifies that such cattle or goats came from an
accredited herd or a herd in the process of accreditation, the entire number of which
herd has passed successfully one tuberculin test without a reactor. No dairy or breeding
