Why is branding done in cattle?
Cattle are branded because it is a more permanent mark that is difficult to remove unless a horse thief or rustler is artfully skilled at changing the brand to make the livestock their own and thus making it easier for them to sell. Hot-iron brands or freeze-brands last a lot longer than ear/brisket tags or microchips. Cattle are also branded if they are put into a community pasture or federally owned land and grazed together with other cattle from other ranches. Brands thus make it easier to sort out who's who's at the end of the grazing season when it is time to take the cattle back home.
