Estray Law Allows Public Sale of Unidentified Cattle
The Ninth Legislative assembly approves a law allowing county stock commissioners to call in stock inspectors to identify branded cattle with missing or altered marks. If ownership cannot be proved, the animal is sold at public auction quarterly starting June 1905, with net proceeds to the state stray fund and potential refunds if ownership is later established.
