Where we raise beef, a brand is not required, but we have considered going to one as a protection from rustling which happens infrequently but still does. Currently, for us, it's ear tags (which can be torn out by brush) or tattoos in the ears. There are a lot of theories on ways to brand today from cryogenic (freeze branding) to electrical to avoid the damage that the hot brand did where it takes an experienced hand to do it right without damaging the animal.<br /><br />And author brand, oh that's another fascinating subject where I'd be all ears ;)Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152821032321828999.post-28514716003768989482014-11-29T12:30:02.427-08:002014-11-29T12:30:02.427-08:00This blog started off as a post for my own blog ab...This blog started off as a post for my own blog about branding - particularly branding oneself as an author.<br /><br />I wanted to tie cattle branding in and ended up... well you can see for yourself.

Snort. Okay, that was lame.<br /><br />One of the reasons the Old West draws me is the loyalty factor. Riding for the brand goes hand in hand with sticking to your code no matter what--even if that code is on the dubious side. Loyalty to the brand, loyalty to the code. It's a foreign concept today.Jacquie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361793932364487636noreply@blogger.com
