(1) The per-head inspection fee for a certified feedlot shall be fifteen cents less than the fee set by the board pursuant to section 35-41-104 for direct-toslaughter cattle and seventeen cents less than such fee for all other cattle. All such fees shall be due and payable to the board by the fifth day of each month based on the number of animals shipped during the previous calendar month.
(2) Each month, the owner of a certified feedlot shall remit two separate checks, each made payable to the board. One of such checks shall be in the amount of the per-head fee specified in subsection (1) of this section, and the other in the amount required to cover the Colorado beef board fee, the national beef promotion fee assessed pursuant to 7 CFR 1260.172, or both. Any payment received over ten days late shall result in the assessment of a penalty of ten percent of the amount originally due, not to exceed fifty dollars per late payment, plus interest at the legal rate specified in section 5-12-102 (1)(b), C.R.S., until paid.
