(b) In the case of farm assets damaged by the disaster, the value of such security shall be established as of the day before the disaster occurred.
(c) In the case of an equine loss loan:
(1) The applicant's Federal income tax and business records will be the primary source of financial information. Sales receipts, invoices, or other official sales records will document the sales price of individual animals.
