Livestock branding
is any technique for marking livestock so as to identify
the owner. Originally, livestock branding only referred
to the practice of burning a mark on livestock using a
hot iron, though the term is now also used to refer to
other alternative techniques such as freeze branding,
ear tagging, and RFID tagging. In the American west, it
has evolved into a complex marking system still in use
today.
