Oregon Livestock Branding

Brands are not mandatory in Oregon, however, livestock owners are encouraged to brand. A brand is primary proof of ownership, serves as a deterrent to theft, and helps inspectors trace missing and stolen livestock. If a livestock owner elects to brand, the brand must be registered with the Oregon Department of Agriculture.
