What to do when selling or purchasing a property
Branding cattle is a clear way of identifying ownership of stock. It is the responsibility of the registered owners to decide what happens to their brand when selling a property. While the sale of a property may include the stock, the brand is not automatically transferred to the new owners.
When a 3‑letter brand is transferred, the distinctive (symbol) brands and / or earmark associated with it are automatically included in the transfer, unless otherwise stated by the registered owner of the brand.
