Brand inspections are required by law. This requirement may be met by obtaining: 72-hour travel inspection; cost $20.00 (one-way) up to 10-head; then $2.00 per head after the first 10.

Cattle and sheep must be branded only if they forage on open range (Government land), although it is recommended that all livestock be branded to prevent estrays and theft. If ownership changes, cattle must be rebranded with the new owner's brand within 30 days. Branding of horses is not required, but is recommended.

Go to your state's brand registration office and ask to see the listing of already registered brands. This will give you some ideas, as well as show you what's no longer available. The brand registration officer will help you in the design process. Choose letters, numbers, or symbols to create your brand.

To record a livestock brand, please complete the enclosed application signed in ink by the applicant or applicants and return it to the Department of Food and Agriculture with the $70.00 recording fee.
