BRANDING IN NEBRASKA

The Nebraska Brand Committee was created by the Legislature in 1941 to inspect cattle and investigate missing and/or stolen cattle.  It is a self-supporting cash fund agency.  Its operating funds come solely from fees collected for brand recordings, brand inspections and registered feedlots and dairies. 

Ranchers that would like to own a brand in Nebraska can contact the Nebraska Brand Committee at    308-763-2930.  The Nebraska Brand Committee also maintains a database of registered brands on their website at http://nbc.nol.org/available/available.html.   This page is useful to see whether or not a brand is registered in Nebraska.

Instructions and the application for a Nebraska Brand can be obtained here.
