Wyoming Statutes Title 11. Agriculture, Livestock and Other Animals § 11-20-125. Use of a seasonal brand; application for an annual permit to use an out-of-state brand

Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) A person may apply to the board for permission to use his out-of-state brand on cattle, horses, asses or mules, provided the brand is legally registered in the state of origin. If a conflict is found with a registered Wyoming brand the board, notwithstanding W.S. 11-20-104 and 11-20-117 and as established by rule and regulation, may authorize use of the brand and require further identification. The permit shall be valid for a one hundred eighty (180) day period during the calendar year. The permit is not transferable. The annual fee for the permit shall be the same as the fee for a new brand as prescribed in W.S. 11-20-103. The permit may be issued and renewed annually if the board finds the requirements of this section are met:

(i) The applicant shall agree to restrict a permitted out-of-state brand on calves born to cattle imported for grazing purposes, yearling, feeder or stocker cattle imported for feeding or grazing or cattle consigned to a commercial feedlot. “Calves” for purposes of this section means calves less than six (6) months old and running at their mother's sides;

(ii) The applicant shall supply the brand inspector proof of ownership of the cattle at the time of brand inspection and shall show proof that the out-of-state brand is currently registered either by brand card or brand certificate from the state of issue; and

(iii) If the permit is issued, the permittee shall pay for all necessary brand inspections as prescribed by law.

(b) If there are written complaints to the board from three (3) or more affected parties, the board shall investigate the complaints and take appropriate action.

(c) The board may promulgate rules and regulations necessary to carry out the provisions of this section.
