Our Mission

The state’s brand registration and inspection program protects cattle owners in California against loss of animals by theft, straying or misappropriation. The branch’s program consists of registration of cattle, horse, burro, and sheep permanent brands (link to application); inspection of cattle for lawful possession prior to movement, sale or slaughter, and recording of the information obtained by such inspections; and assisting local law enforcement with investigations and prosecutions involving cattle theft. The state’s brand registration and inspection program is financed, in its entirety, through brand registration and inspection fees paid by the cattle owners.
