[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 669318, member: 7509"] I always thought the main reason for branding out west is that herds are often mixed grazing on government lands and branding lets you sort them out in the fall when they are retrieved. There have been springs where I've seen 3 or 4 semi trucks waiting to unload and cattle stretching single file for miles as they leave the trucks and spread into the rangeland. Several different owners. Branding is about the only sure way of identifying them when you come back in 5-6 months to get them. Totally opposite end of the spectrum method of raising cattle from MIG etc. Jim [/QUOTE]
