Branding Time in Nebraska Cattle Regions
Nebraska's Panhandle lies in a brand inspection area covering most of the western two thirds of the state. Branding aids ownership proof during sale, though not required, and areas may adopt rules due to rustling. The 32 year old Nebraska Brand Commission is funded by a 22 percent head inspection fee and reports over 4 million cattle inspected in 1971-72. A Morrill County operation uses a propane burner, branding calves with a 4 backward K stamp, a family legacy since grandfather days.
