The Board shall make an annual inspection of all bulls of the age of twelve months and over in the cattle improvement area concerned.The Board may recommend that the owner of any bull which is disapproved at such inspection should receive assistance from the Administration of the Territory by loan or otherwise, if satisfied that the said owner is not financially in a position to purchase another suitable bull. All bulls which have been approved by a Board shall forthwith be branded and suitably marked by the owner in a manner prescribed by regulation and to the satisfaction of the Board. Thereafter such bulls shall be deemed to be approved bulls throughout the Territory and shall not be subject to further inspection.
