RC: Re: Re: BRAND INSPECTION IN CALIFORNIA (long)

["Spencer" <spencer@inu.net>]

Put an ad in the local paper.  If that does not work.. take him to the
auction or place an ad to sell him.  Some papers have a free area for those
kind of ads.  BTW, most horses are no longer branded due to cosmetic
concerns.  I have gone to auctions here in Tx that occasionally have a horse
that is branded but not very many.  Arabians used to freeze brand and now
some use the microchip.  Just some FYI.  Back in 81-82 when I crossed many
state lines, only WA had a requirement to stop with livestock.  Had gotten
the livestock paper in Denver, so was not a problem.. but due to the 60 mph
winds and rain, it was a very short inspection.
