A CNG farmer purchases a small herd of bred, conventional ewes from the livestock auction after being given a temporary variance to source conventional livestock. The ewes have been recently bred and won’t lamb for another four months. Provided that the farmer begins managing the ewes according to CNG standards right away, will the lambs need a transition period before the producer can market them as CNG?

A CNG producer buys some fertilized chicken eggs to incubate from his conventional neighbor because they are a rare breed and he’s excited to diversify his flock. Most of the eggs hatch successfully! Since the hens that laid the eggs were raised conventionally, the producer will need to wait six months before the new birds can be considered CNG.
