Four cows and three goats never made it across the Rio Grande because they failed to have the proper crossing papers.

The animals were seized Tuesday at the Rio Grande City Port of Entry by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers.

Federal laws dictate that animals being exported and imported out of the United States must carry health certificates to ensure they are disease free before crossing the Ports of Entry.

Authorities said the 22-year-old man trying to cross the cows and goats didn't have the health certificates so the animals were seized.

The animals are valued at $3,450. They have been turned over to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
