Which option correctly states what occurs to ownership responsibility for cattle once they are loaded for transport?

It shifts to the driver.
It remains with the owner.
It transfers to the transport company.
Ownership is unchanged.

The correct answer is: It remains with the owner.

Once cattle are loaded for transport, ownership responsibility remains with the owner. This means that the original owner retains legal ownership and bears the responsibility for the welfare of the cattle throughout the transportation process. This legal framework is essential to ensuring that the owner is accountable for any welfare concerns that may arise during transit and for compliance with relevant regulations, such as those governing animal health and safety during transport. In contrast, the other options suggest a shift or transfer of ownership or responsibility, which is not consistent with established practices and legal standards in livestock transport. The transport driver and the transport company may assume certain responsibilities related to the handling and care of the cattle while they are in transit, but it does not change the ownership status of the cattle themselves. Thus, keeping ownership with the original owner ensures a clear line of accountability throughout the transportation process.
