MO SB964

Repeals and reenacts definitions of livestock in five Missouri statutes (sections 144.010, 262.900, 265.300, 267.565, and 277.020) to include captive cervids documented as obtained from a legal source and not from the wild.

Adds captive cervids to the livestock definition alongside existing categories including cattle, swine, sheep, ratite birds, aquatic products, llamas, alpaca, buffalo, elk, goats, horses, and rabbits raised in confinement for human consumption.

Applies consistent livestock definition changes across sales tax law, urban agricultural zone provisions, meat inspection regulations, animal disease control statutes, and livestock market regulations.

Requires that captive cervids must be documented as obtained from a legal source and not captured from the wild to qualify as livestock under Missouri law.
