Re-recording Many Stock Brands

The County Recorders Office is
kept busy these days taking care of
the applications for the re-recording
of brands, in accordance with the
law passed by the last Legislature.
There are now about so brands that
have been filed with the county Off
cial for re-recording. and it is esti-
mated that there will be fully 100
more to be filed before the first of
the year. In a number of instances
cattlemen have come in with re-
quests to file certain brands, but
owing to the fact that when they
bought the stock bearing the brand
the transaction was merely a verbal
one and no record being made of the
transfer, the owners will have to
wait until the first of the year before
they a record the brands. although
in some instances these brands are
being used almost exclusively by
them
