How Some People Have Lost
Title to Their Stock Brands

Very frequently the state board
of live stock commissioners re-
ceive brands for renewal which
have never been recorded in the
state. An OLD county certificate
is usually attached to these re-
newal applications.
These brands were not properly
certified to this board in 1909, the
year the state took over the
brands.
The law which required the
brands to be 30 certified reads as
follows:
"On or before the first day of
January, 1910, every person, 1850
citation or corporation, using any
brand or brands in this state, for
the purpose of branding horses
or cattle, or other live stock, shall
forward to the secretary of the
state board of live stock commits
sioners a copy of such brand OF
brands, duly certified by the clerk
of the county in which such brand
or brands is or are recorded. The
said clerk shall furnish such Ger.
tificates without charge therefor
to the owner of any such brand,
and the secretary of the state
board of live stock commissioner
shall, upon receipt, record the
same without charge"
