		Livestock branding is any technique for marking livestock so as to identify the owner.
		Originally, livestock branding only referred to the practice of burning a mark on livestock using a hot iron, though the term is now also used to refer to other alternative techniques such as freeze branding, ear tagging, and RFID tagging.
		Originally the word brand meant anything hot or burning, such as a fire-brand, a burning stick; by the European Middle Ages it commonly identified the process of burning a mark into a stock animal with a thick hide, such as a cow, so as to identify ownership under animus revertendi.

	Corriente Cattle and Cattle Branding at Grand Canyon West Ranch
		Cattle branding scenes can be seen on Egyptian Tomb walls dating back as far as 2000 B.C. Until modern times, to prevent theft, livestock being driven across country were required to be “road branded.” The brands were painted on with pine tar or paint in early history.
		Brands in the Old American West are more than means of identifying cattle and brands have been called “the heraldry of the range.” Burned into a cow’s hide, a brand identifies the animal’s owner — a necessary task in open range where several different “outfits” may run their cattle together.
		Brands are used in many places — on vehicles, table china, pressed into the damp cement of the ranch house porch, and as sculptural embellishments to gates, and the like.

		A brand is the special mark or identifying design owned by a rancher and used in registering and identifying his cattle and horses.
		Cattle branding is done mainly at two times of the year, in the spring after calving and in the fall after the roundup and driving the herd back to the home ranch for winter.
		Good brands are also simple enough to discourage thieves and rustlers from being tempted to change the mark with "running irons." Running irons are kept by ranchers and used to mark strays when necessary, or to put a neighbor's brand on his strays that drift into the wrong herd.
