Three Nebraska counties named livestock-friendlyRUSHVILLE, Neb. (AP)--Three western Nebraska counties have joined the ranks of Nebraska's livestock-friendly counties. Gov. Dave Heineman announced Aug. 12 that Lincoln, Sheridan and Box Butte counties are now part of the program. The other eight counties are Adams, Dawes, Garden, Hitchcock, Keith, Morrill, Wayne, and Webster. The program is coordinated by the Nebraska Department of Agriculture. To earn a livestock-friendly designation, a county must hold a public hearing and adopt a declaration acknowledging the importance of livestock to the well-being of the county. It must also provide the state copies of its livestock zoning requirements, among other things. 8/25/08 Date: 8/20/08
