[QUOTE="Texan, post: 54392, member: 416"] Oldtimer has the best credentials for expert status here. But, until he gets here, I'll share my opinion. Fire branding is the best method of [i]permanent[/i] identification we have. Not only do hot iron brands provide legal proof of ownership, just having them is a great theft deterrent. They give our brand inspectors and other law enforcement one more tool to help us keep what we work for! And yes, there is a real need to prove ownership. Check out the link below for [i]just a few[/i] cases from the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association. This list is not current and doesn't include all theft cases, even in Texas. Interesting reading and surely will answer the question---"Are that many cattle stolen?" [url]http://www.texascattleraisers.org/theftProtectionReport.asp[/url] [/QUOTE]
