345 IAC 7-8-6 Brand adjustment or recall

Sec. 6. (a) All livestock marked with brands later recalled or adjusted under IC 15-19-6-9 shall retain the brand on livestock previously branded. The owner of the recalled or adjusted brand shall not apply any new brand so as to interfere, overlap, obliterate, disfigure, or mutilate the previously recorded brand. (b) Any brand which, in the opinion of the state veterinarian, is designed in such a manner as to cause difficulty in obtaining a readable brand (due to blotching, etc.) shall not be recorded. The state veterinarian shall notify the applicant and either adjust or return the facsimile brand. If the facsimile brand is returned to the applicant, the recording fee shall also be returned.
