(1) Any person,
association, or corporation desiring to adopt a brand, not then being the recorded
brand of another person, association, or corporation, shall forward to the state
board of stock inspection commissioners a facsimile of the desired brand, together
with a written application to adopt such brand, and shall accompany the same with
a fee in an amount determined by the board by rule. Upon receipt of the facsimile
and fee, the board shall record the brand, unless the brand stands of record as or is
in conflict with that of some other person, association, or corporation, in which case
the board shall not record the brand but shall return the facsimile to the forwarding
party.

(2) It is unlawful for a person, an association, or a corporation to brand or
cause to be branded any livestock with a brand that has not been recorded with the
state board of stock inspection commissioners, as provided in subsection (1) of this
section, or with a brand that has been previously recorded by another person,
association, or corporation. When an owner of a recorded brand in use in this state
moves the owner's cattle, branded with the owner's own brand, to a new and
different range or locality in this state within which territory there is in use a
conflicting or similar recorded brand, the state board of stock inspection
commissioners may order such recorded brand owner so moving to a new range or
locality to discontinue the use of the owner's recorded brand in that locality, and
the board, at its discretion, may cancel such brand ordered to be so discontinued.

(3) Any person, association, or corporation or any employee thereof who
violates any of the provisions of subsection (2) of this section commits a class 2
misdemeanor.
