Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) Anyone who buys and sells livestock for their own business or on the behalf of others must be registered and bonded by the USDA and licensed by the MDA. NOTE: If you are a farmer/rancher and you only buy replacement animals and sell animals you have bred or raised, you do NOT need a license. Apply for a license First, contact the USDA Packers and Stockyards Administration office in Des Moines, Iowa at 515-323-2579. They will send you the  paperwork you need to become registered and bonded. Once you have obtained a bond, the USDA will notify us. Once we??ve heard from the USDA, we??ll send you the forms to apply for the appropriate license. You can also download the application form from this page or complete it online. However, the MDA cannot issue your license until the Packers and Stockyards registration/bonding is complete.  Review: Livestock Dealer Licensing How to Get a Livestock Dealer or Market Agency License None
