In 1598, The hot iron brand was first introduced into New Mexico by Don Juan de Oñate.
He trailed 7,000 head of branded cattle from the Mexican State of Chihuahua to "San Juan De Los Caballeros," near present day Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Ref: Ganaderia en Chihuahua, August 2003, Dr. Luis Raul Manini Chavez. |
Now, over 400 years later, New Mexico remains a hot iron brand state. Our brand database contains some 30,000 designs registered with us by our state's livestock producers. Our brand inspectors are now outfitted with the most modern equipment, including ruggedized notebooks for entering country inspections in the field, and our veterinarians too have handheld computers and RFID scanners, all synchronized with our main office database system.
So we're looking ahead, equipped for the 21st century, and we're looking back, mindful of our rich heritage. With a vision that connects the past with a safe and secure future for the livestock industry in our state, the New Mexico Livestock board is committed to the industry's ongoing integrity and health.
