[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1004840, member: 18809"] If you haven't heard, Missouri is having a big problem with cattle thefts in the last few years. It seems like every week there is a new story on the news about a herd getting hit. The extension office has decided to put on a branding clinic to try to curb this behavior. Not many people in Missouri brand, so it makes the theft that much easier. People do not brand because they have never done it or just general lack of knowledge on how to start. The branding clinic is today, at Jackie Moore's place. Jackie Moore is the owner of Joplin Regional Stockyards, and he has a big ranch in Mt. Vernon, MO where he buys small calves (typically 150 to 400 pounds) and doctors them up and then backgrounds them. Anyway, the clinic will teach about how to design a brand (what to do and not do when coming up with a brand), apply for the brand through the department of agriculture, and then order the brand (size, material and such). Demonstrations will be done on burn branding AND freeze branding. We (my husband, myself and our oldest daughter) will be demonstrating how to freeze brand. Jackie set aside calves for everyone to practice on, so anyone who wants to try to brand cattle can do it today. We are pretty excited to be asked to do this, since it is expected to be a huge turnout and the news media and all will be there!
