Location: Four Corners Colorado | Ugg Have I mentioned how much I hate selling horses!
I am curious how people who sell horses in brand inspection states prefer to do it.
Who pays for the brand inspection and when. In the past I have paid for it then had the buyer not show and have to pay to have the horse rebrand inpsected in my name. I'm not doing that anymore because our fees have gone up to about $50.

Location: Montana | Here in Montana it is pretty straight forward. If the owner is the breeder of a colt, they can pay for a yearly inspection for about $6, and they are supposed to do that. Then the new buyer, when they get the colt home can get a one time life time brand inspection for $25 and never have to do it again. But, in Montana, they are a little bit lenient about the brand inspection when selling a colt...as long as you have registration papers and a bill of sale for the person on the registration papers as the breeder, they will pretty much give you a brand inspection.
Then, if you aren't the breeder, you need to have a brand inspection in your name. When you sell the horse you supply the buyer with a bill of sale and your brand inspection so they can go get their own.
I'm sure, however, every state is different. |

Location: Four Corners Colorado | Here in Colorado sellers are responsible for inspections, horses are inpected at the time of sale, for transport over 75 miles or acrossed state lines.
Those rules pretty much kill all same day sales because it take up to a week to get an brand inspection unless you sell at auction.
It is insane to me.

Location: In my own little world | In Montana it is the sellers responsibility to get a change of ownership inspection. - Before any removal or change of ownership may take place, the seller of livestock shall request all required inspections and shall pay the required fees; 50 cents per head on cattle and $6.00 per head on horses.
However, often times the buyer will make the arrangements but above is how the law reads. Registration papers are not considered proof of ownership. |

| This is a bit off topic, but still relates to this thread....We live in MO where there isn't brand inspections, but are moving to Minnesota soon, is that a brand inspection state? How do I find out? We have a brand registered in MO but aren't sure about transferring it to MN or even how. |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I think the owner of the animal here in WY has to pay for it. I figure I am the one that wants to sell the horse, so I can pay the fees. Between a health/coggins and brand inspection it is around $50 and that doesn't count my 2 hr round trip to the vet. |

Location: Buffalo, Wyoming | I have lived in 3 brand inspection states (Utah, Wyoming and Colorado). I believe the seller is responsible in all states. When selling a horse I always get a temp brand just incase the sale doesn't actually go through. A lot cheaper that way. |
