A livestock dealer is any person (not a market agency) engaged in the business of buying or selling, in commerce, livestock either on his own account or as an employer or agent of the vendor or purchaser. Any dealer who purchases, deals in, or sells livestock or acts as a commission representative or broker, except registered with the Packers & Stockyards livestock markets, must be licensed by the Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission. Requirements: All applicants are to submit an application and follow the rules of the ARKANSAS REGULATION FOR LIVESTOCK DEALER LICENSING. Within the rules, Dealers are required to keep records of all sale transactions and be subject to an inspection by the Commission. Examination and Fees: $10 fee; renewal fees are also $10. No examination required. License will be issued yearly, and will expire on July 1 of each year.
