47-418. Branding; rules and regulations; identification brands for disease control purposes.
Livestock may be branded in any way, or on any part of the animal, according to rules and regulations adopted by the commissioner, but livestock shall be branded so that they may be readily distinguished should they become intermixed with other herds. Livestock brands for identification of cattle to control diseases may be placed on the tailhead of the cattle. No applications for livestock brands for owner identification shall be issued for head, neck or tailhead locations, and the tailhead location for livestock brands shall be reserved for brands for disease control purposes, except that head, neck and tailhead brands presently effective may have registration renewal upon term expirations. No evidence of ownership of brands shall be recorded except as provided in this act.
