HATS Category III: Water Availability On June 5th, at approximately 1400 hours, while performing a routine Humane Handling Task, the CSI observed the following noncompliance: I was observing the cattle in the holding pens, completing HATS category III Water and Feed Availability. I observed that there was a single bovine, containing small horns, segregated into pen #3 for safety reasons. The water container was empty and completely dry. There were no other sources of water. I completed my inspection then notified the establishment that there was no water available to the segregated bovine and that I would be documenting the noncompliance. After notification that the trough was empty, the establishment provided water to the holding pen. The establishment did not meet the requirements of 9CFR 313.2(e) which requires that water be accessible to livestock in all holding pens. No further regulatory action was required. The Denver District Management Team was notified through supervisory channels. This noncompliance is being associated with NR MAE5314040118N-1 dated 04/18/2025 for similar root cause.
