Read all 41 state brand laws at these links and report back to us the specifics of each one. Then do some Internet research and find links to the other 9 states. Next, give us an alternative to hot branding. Criticism is a perfectly valid art form as long as you can provide people with some way to replace the activity you are criticizing. Remember, your substitute has to be able to go out into the back country where the cattle and horses being rounded up actually ARE, has to be inexpensive enough to be practical and easy enough to administer that even a cowboy can do it - please, no cavemen jokes from the peanut gallery :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
