Western ranchers fight push to give up brands

More OBAMA GOVERNMENT intrusion on Americans....is there not an Area they have not stuck their Socialist nose in?...more and more its not for public anything,under the guise that its good for you,for we know better ,but rather its POWER,power by bigger government!

We all in essence got a brand on our ass,,its the governments number on each and one every one of us..whats next TATTOO'S?? The animals and Americans???..why not??? it worked.before in totalitarian dictatorships....at first its the small things a government does to take power,then of course its total control for total absolute power.

LOONS ARE TERMITES OF FREEDOM AND FREE CHOICE

Ear tags can be taken off or changed,brands cant.More clueless goverment people trying to tell someone who is actually doing it how to do it.

How about branding irons to track ramnchers?

ranchers, that is. I say ranchers. Pay attention son.

If branding works, and ranchers are ok with it, why would it need to change? Makes no sense.

H.S.U.S and PETA feel it's cruel and inhumane. Government wants cattlemen to use ID tags and or chips for country of origin labeling(way to track animals back to the farm in case of problems) Branding still the best tamper proof way to sort out the neighbors cattle.

Maybe those groups should mind their own damn business. Hopefully the ranchers get some legal assistance and tell those crusading pansies to f**k off.

It might make some sense to those animals.

i talked to the cattle this morning and they said branding was fine as long as it was done properly.

I talked to the cows too. What they meant was that branding was fine as long as it was branding the ranchers.

It would help stop human trafficking.
