Brand inspection

[jtaylor@pyramid.net]

I don't want to start a long thread about brand inspections because we
did it a couple of months ago. But I do want to let everyone know what i
learned. One of our local feed and garden store put on a clinic type
event Sat & Sun wher you could take your horse and have a brand
inspection and coggins done for a fee. Anyway I learned from the brand
inspector that if you buy or sell a horse that horse must have a brand
inspection, even a papered horse. I did not know this and have been
hauling and selling horses for many years. I always thought if you had a
registered horse a bill of sale and his papers were enough. (not) The
brand inspector told me that if you don't have a brand inspection it is
a $600.00 fine! So beware!! Just when I thought I knew everything. Oh
well. by the way I live in Nevada but I am sure the rules are the same
for most states. Julie
