This mark serves as a permanent identification for the owner, allowing them to easily distinguish their cattle from others. By branding, cowboys can prevent theft or disputes over ownership, as the brand acts as a clear proof of ownership. Additionally, branding helps in managing and organizing the herd, making it easier for cowboys to keep track of their cattle and prevent them from getting mixed with other herds.Rate this question:
