Presentation Summary:
We find them everywhere – on belts, mugs, quilts, and cattle! While part of Montana’s culture, livestock brands also play a vital part of Montana’s history. Dating back to 1873, Montana Livestock Brand Records reveal information on individual brand owners. They also demonstrate historical trends: Mining, cattle drives, homesteading and more. Zoe Ann will discuss the history of Montana brands, the futility in asking which was first, and the treasure trove of information documented by the Montana Livestock Brand Records. What stories are behind your brand? |
