[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 206064, member: 411"] According to the California Brand book and registration form it is not required to have a brand. You are correct that freeze branding is not allowed. The reason behind my recomendation for them to brand is because of our area. There is a large number of cattle thefts. I am very close to DavisBeefmasters location and having worked with the brand inspectors for years I am all to aware of the problem in our area. If you want to be able to get your cattle back in the event that they are stolen, they need to be branded. Freezer steers get stolen to. I do not know about other states but every animal that is butchered in california has to have a brand inspection. When they butcher your animal they take the hide with them. If you want it back you can get it after it has been inspected. This helps prevent someone steeling your steer and slaughtering it. Everything gets branded here. Our stock is worth money to us. Even our freezer meat. We would like to get em back. [/QUOTE]
