Notes

  • -  Les Stewart sketches what the 96 Ranch earmark looks like.
  • -  Proprietary earmarks and wattles are listed along with brands in the state's official registry. Brands must be unique within a state, while earmarks and wattles need only differ within a community. The day-to-day work of inspecting brands when cattle are shipped, or of adjudicating disputes, falls to the local brand inspector.
