[QUOTE="prairietrail45, post: 1225865, member: 23481"] It's registered for the left hip, they didn't have any specifics on where on the hip so I should be OK. I'm pretty sure I put it on a little more right after I took the picture. My step dad was there watching, he's branded lots of cattle, and gave the OK on each one once they looked good. I am going to clip the hair next time, I had one that was very fuzzy, I had to go through about an inch of hair just to get to the skin! They are all starting to peel now and so far looks like they don't have any regrowth of hair where the brand is. I really don't want to end up with blotchy brands or nasty scars on them. I've seen cattle at the sale that just have a big bald patch where someone tried to brand them and I definitely don't want that. Once all my spring cows are done calving I'm going to brand all of them as well. I probably need to call the state to find out for sure, but if I have an older cow that has a brand on her left hip can I still brand her? The existing brand is very hard to see, even in the summer, you can just barely make out the outline of it. I am assuming I would have to place it on the hip where it won't look like I am trying to cover up the old brand. [/QUOTE]
