Text

(a) A person may apply to the board for permission to use
his out-of-state brand on cattle, horses, asses or mules,
provided the brand is legally registered in the state of origin.
If a conflict is found with a registered Wyoming brand the
board, notwithstanding W.S. 11-20-104 and 11-20-117 and as
established by rule and regulation, may authorize use of the
brand and require further identification. The permit shall be
valid for a one hundred eighty (180) day period during the
calendar year. The permit is not transferable. The annual fee
for the permit shall be the same as the fee for a new brand as
prescribed in W.S. 11-20-103. The permit may be issued and
renewed annually if the board finds the requirements of this
section are met:
(i) The applicant shall agree to restrict a permitted
out-of-state brand on calves born to cattle imported for grazing
purposes, yearling, feeder or stocker cattle imported for
feeding or grazing or cattle consigned to a commercial feedlot.
"Calves" for purposes of this section means calves less than six
(6) months old and running at their mother's sides;
(ii) The applicant shall supply the brand inspector
proof of ownership of the cattle at the time of brand inspection
and shall show proof that the out-of-state brand is currently
registered either by brand card or brand certificate from the
state of issue; and
(iii) If the permit is issued, the permittee shall
pay for all necessary brand inspections as prescribed by law.
(b) If there are written complaints to the board from
three (3) or more affected parties, the board shall investigate
the complaints and take appropriate action.
(c) The board may promulgate rules and regulations
necessary to carry out the provisions of this section.
