The branding iron provided a way for ranchers to stake their claim on cattle and other livestock while deterring theft from rustlers.
The earliest records of livestock branding date back to the ancient Egyptians, but the practice came to America by way of European travelers.
After they became more widely used by ranches, custom branding irons were made to differentiate one ranch’s herd from another. Variations of brands like crazy, lazy, flying, running and walking soon populated the West to ensure that a ranch’s insignia stood out.
