"...A picture of the brand must be drawn and specified where the
person wants to locate it. Once registered, no one else may use that
brand..."
Even this varies from state to state. One time
I looked up WI regulations. They only mentioned cows, and would register
only 3 letters. I can't remember whether you got to choose them or
not. In general states East of the Missouri river (at least in the N
part of the country) do not have "brand inspection" laws etc.
It really makes life in the USA easy, since we are a
union of states with only limited powers granted to the federal
government. I wouldn't have it any other way.
