Do they still brand cattle?
Yes we do, we brand our horses on the right hip, with a rocking M brand this is done to horses that are two, where the colt is old enough to be halter and saddle broke at which time the colts are branded to scare ownership. And I must emphasize that the branding are necessary for all horses ranging without a brand are subject to immediate retiring by Territorial Fish and game.That being said they are deemed a ferral intrusive species.
