[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 984046, member: 18682"] Cattle can wander a good distance. A neighbor of ours got a call at round up time that one of their cows was 50 miles way. The only reason she came home was a brand on her side I.D. who she belonged to. There were plenty of fences that she had to jump or go through to get were she was found. Another neighbor told me that he had, had steers wander about 40 miles in a different direction, and once again it was a brand on the side, and a call at round up time that brought the animal home. I don't like hot brands that much, but even a freeze brand is better than nothing when it comes to recovering lost animals. Now I know that once in a while someone will snag a branded animal and not return it, but your chances go up if you can identify your animal, and a neighbor checking with the local brand inspector when a strange animal appears will often be returned to its rightful owner.
