The Wyoming Livestock Board Brand Recording Unit recently completed address verification on all livestock brand records.

“There are approximately 1,241 addresses that are no longer deliverable,” said Renae Krakow, executive assistant of the Wyoming Livestock Board. “We are reaching out in order to update our brand records.”

According to information provided by the Wyoming Livestock Board, livestock owners may receive “an address verification letter in the mail, if the address currently recorded on your brand record was listed as undeliverable.”

“Updated verified addresses were used to send out your letter,” Krakow said. “However, until you personally update your address, we cannot change any information in your brand record.”

Area livestock owners have been asked to “review their brand records and make sure the addresses, phone numbers and email contact are up to date.”

“If your brand renewal comes back and we have an alternate way to contact you, we will attempt to contact you via those contacts,” Krakow said.

Change of Address forms can be found on Wyoming Livestock Board website at http://wlsb.state.wy.us under brand recording or call 307-777-7515 and the Wyoming Livestock Board will send you a form.
Submit forms to the Wyoming Livestock Board at: 1934 Wyott Dr., Cheyenne, WY 82002 or email Change of Address forms to brands@wyo.gov.

“There is no charge to update your address,” said Krakow. “The person requesting the change must be listed on the brand record, however. Please call with any questions. We are required to scan all documents associated with your brand into the brand data base so we will need all changes to the address updates in writing.”

The Wyoming Livestock Board’s next brand renewal period starts in the summer of 2020 and ends March 1, 2021.

“Transfers/Legal recording changes to any brand is a separate transaction and can be done at any time if the brand is current,” Krakow said.
