Protect, identify your livestock with your Nebraska recorded brand. It is prima facie evidence of ownership of your livestock. It is your investment for your future. A brand is personal property and is subject to distribution in the same manner as other personal property until the expiration date.
A brand is personal property, and prima facie evidence of livestock ownership. The following explanations are basic instructions and may not apply to your particular circumstances, so we urge extreme care when recording a brand. Please list the owner(s) given name(s) and complete the legal ownership box. Please contact your attorney if a minor is involved.
The State of Nebraska has available to cattle feeders operating in the Nebraska Brand Inspection Area a program that is an alternative to brand inspection as is presently being done. The program offers the convenience of not having to have a brand inspection on fat cattle at time of shipment, either at origin or destination. Additionally, a modest to considerable cost savings may be realized depending on the nature of the operation.
The Nebraska Brand Committee may, at its discretion, grant permission to any cattle owner based in the Nebraska Brand Inspection Area as described in Section 41 (3) Nebraska Livestock Brand Act or in an adjacent state having a mandatory brand inspection law and operating under authority of the Packers and Stockyards Division of the United States Department of Agriculture, to remove cattle from a county within the Nebraska Brand Inspection Area that is adjacent to the brand area line into an adjacent county, or portion thereof, or into a county of a state adjacent to the brand area line without having an inspection by the Nebraska Brand Committee as described in Section 41 (3) Nebraska Livestock Brand Act.
