Text

Animals which are
usually branded may be branded on either side with the owner's brand. No evidence
of ownership by brands shall be permitted in any court in this state unless the
brands are recorded as provided in section 35-43-105. Each drove of cattle or
sheep which may be driven into or through any county of this state shall be plainly
branded or marked with one uniform brand or mark. The cattle shall be so branded
with the distinguishing ranch or road brand of the owner as to show distinctly in
such places as the owner may adopt. Sheep shall be marked distinctly with such
mark or device as may be sufficient to distinguish the same readily, should they
become intermixed with other flocks of sheep owned in the state. Any such owner
or person in charge of such drove being driven into or through the state who fails to
comply with the provisions of this article shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor
more than three hundred dollars.
