Sec. 2.05. "Brand" means an identification mark burned into the hide of a live animal by a hot iron or another method approved by the Department. Each character in a brand shall, at the time of application, be not less than 3 inches in diameter and each shall be a distinct character. Brands of lesser dimensions may be approved by the Department for goats, sheep, and swine. Arabic numerals alone are not acceptable characters for such ownership brands.
Such brands shall be applied to the shoulder, ribs, or hip on either the right or left side as determined by standing behind the animal. No brand, except those for livestock disease control purposes, may be applied to the head or neck area.
