Lander, WY | Don't plan on shipping to Colorado without a brand:
35-43-101. Brands on livestock - evidence.
Statute text
It is lawful to mark cattle and horses with the owner's brand. When animals are brought into this state from another state or a territory in transit from beyond the boundaries of this state, the brand, or a copy thereof, duly certified to by the proper officer in each state or territory, shall be received in evidence, with like force and effect as a brand duly recorded in this state.
35-43-129. Branding of calves required - exceptions.
Statute text
(1) It is unlawful for any person, company, or corporation to sell, offer for sale, slaughter, or move, either within the state or to a destination outside of Colorado, any calf under weaning age that is not branded with a Colorado recorded brand of the owner of the mother cow. A brand upon any calf shall be past the peeling state at the time that a calf is sold, offered for sale, slaughtered, or moved, except in the following cases:
(a) When the calf is accompanied by its branded ownership-proven mother;
(b) When the calf is accompanied by a current brand certificate issued by a duly authorized Colorado brand inspector after inspection at a time when such calf is with its branded ownership-proven mother;
(c) When the calf is a registered purebred breed or pure dairy breed, but this exception shall not apply to a crossbred calf.
As far as I know, no cattle change ownership in Colorado without being brand inspected, including 4H calves at county fairs... I think I'd be talking to someone on the brand board in Kansas if I were you...
