This is the original version (as it was originally made).
38.—(1) Where a sheep or goat is slaughtered in a slaughterhouse, and at the time of slaughter there was no permanent incisor tooth erupted or it was aged not more than 12 months, the carcase of the animal must be marked with the young lamb stamp.
(2) The young lamb stamp shall consist of a circular mark 5 centimetres in diameter containing in legible form in letters 1 cm high the words “MHS” and “YL”, and shall be applied by an OVS, or inspector or a meat technician acting under the responsibility of an OVS, and no other person shall apply the young lamb stamp or possess the equipment for applying the stamp.
(3) No person may use any stamp so resembling the young lamb stamp, or in such a way, as to be likely to suggest that any carcase other than a carcase of a sheep or goat in which there was no permanent incisor tooth erupted, is such a carcase.
(4) The Agency may, in relation to any slaughterhouse or licensed cutting premises, appoint as meat technicians such number of persons as is necessary to assist the OVS and inspectors in carrying out their functions under paragraph (2) above.
