AL livestock weigher bonds.
$100 flat.
A licensed Alabama public weighmaster who weighs livestock and issues certificates of weight files a $1,000 bond with the Department of Agriculture & Industries. Ours is $100 flat — set by our carrier’s rate book, the same for every weigher. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Alabama regulates public weighmasters through the Department of Agriculture & Industries, Weights & Measures Division. A public weighmaster weighs commodities — here, livestock — and issues an official certificate of weight that buyers and sellers rely on for payment.
The bond is a fidelity-and-accuracy guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Alabama (the obligee), with the people relying on your weight certificates as the protected parties. If a weighmaster issues false or fraudulent certificates and someone is harmed, the claim is paid against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the renewal so your weighmaster registration never lapses over an expired bond.
