new rules for identifcation of sex in field

[Jonah's Revenge]

Dont' know if this has been talked about yet but wanted to post it just in case.
A while back someone posted about the new regs that state we have to keep the head attached or the genitals attached to the meat until you get it to the butcher (or home).
In the new website update, it states you don't have to if you stay within the state. It's back to the old rule of just having the head avaliable.
But don't trust me, look at the regs yourself.
Here is the link;

(ii) the head naturally attached to at least one quarter of the carcass or reproductive organs naturally attached to one quarter of the carcass or to another major portion of meat as described in (4) (a) (i)-(iv) above.
