English Translation

11 6t The mayors have set up a livestock ‘stand office'. All livestock farmers are obliged to report all arrivals and departures of the farm animals they keep and count on Saturday noon by means of officially confirmed forms. These lists of animals, whose copies are also available to the district authorities for inspection purposes, enable a constant, uniform inspection of the livestock population and therefore make it impossible for livestock farmers in the future to sell or slaughter animals for slaughter in the black market, especially since it is necessary to ensure that such offences are carried out in a draconian manner. In November the year before, these lists of animals were checked by economic control bodies for their proper management and, on this occasion, they were re-sampled to establish their conformity with the livestock of the livestock farmers.The result is still pending and will be reported in the follow-up. I have also caused the German gendarmerie to be involved in over-checking livestock stocks in the manner described below. Since the control of cattle traders and road and rail transport is ensured, it is right to expect that the trade in meat will be eliminated to the lowest possible extent.
