§ 21171 Cattle Brand Inspection Requirements

• •When cattle are checked, people look for brands, marks, or natural features like their breed or sex.
• •If the cattle don’t have a brand, they still get checked for things like their color or shape.
• •After the check, a paper (certificate) is given to show the cattle were inspected.

A farmer wants to sell some cows at a market.

Before selling, someone checks the cows for brands or special marks. If a cow has no brand, they note its color, breed, and if it’s male or female. Then, the farmer gets a paper saying the cows were checked.
