March 1 deadline for Wyoming brand renewals
February 24, 2017
Wyoming Livestock Brands due for renewal in 2017 are now expired as of December 31, 2016. However, a grace period has been granted until midnight March 1, 2017 to renew brands. Brand renewals must be postmarked by midnight March 1, 2017 in order to avoid a late fee on your renewal.

The Wyoming Livestock Board will be sending a certified letter containing a second brand renewal notice to those producers who have a brand due for renewal and did not renew their brands prior to January 31, 2016.
