\n\"\"<\/a>A brand inspection is required when:
\n\u2022 Ownership changes in any manner
\n\u2022 Leaving the State of Idaho
\n\u2022 Going to slaughter<\/p>\n

Generally, it is the responsibility of the \u201cSeller\u201d or \u201ccurrent owner\u201d to obtain the brand inspection and pay the appropriate inspection fees.<\/p>\n

Always ask for a brand inspection when buying livestock! If the seller issues you a \u201cbill of sale\u201d instead, make sure the bill of sale is valid, and you call for a brand inspection within 10 days from the date of sale. In this case, the buyer will also be responsible for getting a brand inspection within 10 days and paying the brand inspection fees.<\/p>\n

If you accept a bill of sale in lieu of a brand inspection certificate, and the animal is carrying a brand not recorded to the person who issued the bill of sale, then you could very well have to clear that brand before a brand inspection could be done.<\/p>\n

Not obtaining a brand inspection when required by the Idaho brand laws is considered an infraction for the first offense and a misdemeanor for the second offense, punishable by a fine not to exceed $300 and or six months in jail. https:\/\/isp.idaho.gov\/brands\/<\/a><\/p>\n

HOW TO ADOPT OR PURCHASE A WILD HORSE OR BURRO<\/h4>\n

The BLM maintains a network of\u00a0permanent off-range corrals<\/a>\u00a0and hosts hundreds of off-site adoption events each year to find homes for excess animals. \u00a0Qualified adopters must meet standard requirements for owning and caring for a wild horse and burro, including specific facility parameters to ensure the safety and health of the animals. Purchasers must meet other requirements as well and certify they will provide a good homes to their purchased animal. In general, whether adopting an animal at an off-site event or purchasing one from a permanent off-range corral, prospective owners should follow the steps outlined below. To adopt or purchase an animal over the Internet, visit the\u00a0Wild Horse and Burro Online Corral<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. Requirements:<\/strong>\u00a0Ensure you meet the standard requirements for adopting or purchasing a wild horse or burro.\u00a0You can find requirements in the Important Documents section of this webpage. Visit our\u00a0Sales Program<\/a>\u00a0page for information on the process to purchase a sale-eligible wild horse or burro.<\/p>\n

2. Find an event or location near you:<\/strong>\u00a0Contact your\u00a0preferred off-range corral\u00a0location\u00a0or make plans to visit an\u00a0upcoming off-site adoption event near you<\/a>. Each facility\u00a0may have additional requirements beyond what is stated in the application; it is recommended that you contact your preferred corral\u00a0and visit the\u00a0facility\u2019s website<\/a>\u00a0for more information. The BLM also hosts periodic adoption\/sale opportunities on the\u00a0Online Corral<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Application:<\/strong>\u00a0Complete an\u00a0adoption application\u00a0or sales application\u00a0and mail\/fax it to your\u00a0local\u00a0BLM office<\/a>, or bring it with you to the appointment or event. \u00a0You will also be able to complete an application at the facility or onsite at the event or facility.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Appointment:<\/strong>\u00a0Arrive at the facility for your appointment or visit the event during the stated hours for viewing and adopting\/purchasing animals.<\/p>\n

5. Pick-up:<\/strong>\u00a0Arrange for payment and pick up of your wild horse or burro directly from the facility or event. \u00a0Generally, the new owner\u00a0is responsible for all transportation costs for the animal. \u00a0If you are unable to provide transportation from the facility, consider adopting or purchasing an animal during a scheduled competitive bid event on the BLM\u2019s\u00a0Online Corral<\/a>, which may have a drop-off location that is more conveniently located.<\/p>\n

GENOTYPING AND BREED TESTING<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

We do not offer ancestry testing for dogs, cats or any other species \u2013 just\u00a0horse<\/a>.<\/h4>\n

Ancestry testing is $50 per animal, payable by check\/money order made out to Texas Agrilife Research \u2013 VTAN.<\/b><\/p>\n

Our turnaround time is two weeks once the sample is received in the lab for testing.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The modern horse was re-introduced to the Americas by Spanish explorers. The earliest horses to reach North America were of Spanish origin. Although horses from other parts of the Europe were subsequently introduced, some New World populations maintain characteristics ascribed to their Spanish heritage. There are more than 58 million horses in the world, with more than 10 million horses in the United States of America (FAO 2013 data<\/a>). It is difficult to calculate exactly how many horse breeds there are as the\u00a0Domestic Animal Diversity System<\/a>\u00a0lists 1549 horse breeds, however many countries list same breeds like Arabian, Thoroughbred and etc. so that some breeds are counted more than one time. The\u00a0Department of Animal Sciences \u2013 Oklahoma State University<\/a>\u00a0maintains a website that lists over 200 breeds alphabetically,\u00a0International Encyclopedia of Horse Breeds by Hendricks (1995; 2007)<\/a>\u00a0describes nearly 400 breeds but estimates there are well over 600.<\/p>\n

Throughout the years we collected and genotyped an extensive number of horse breeds and populations from around the world (see selected publications<\/a>), however to represent our reference panel for ancestry testing we selected 50 breeds that are most common for the North America and also represent the major horse groups: draft horses; ponies; Oriental and Arabian breeds; Old World and New world Iberian breeds. Selected breeds are more probable to be the ancestors of current horses in North America and it would be unreasonable for us to use rare or endangered breeds like Waler (Australia), Timor pony (Timor Island), Cheju horse (a southern island of Korea), Namib horse (Africa), Tushuri horse (Georgia) or Pindos (Greece) and etc. Also some North American breeds are not on the list, \u2013 example: Appaloosa, American Paint horse, because registries are open or partially open and allow crossbreeding. Mustangs are also not on the breed list as it is now primarily a feral horse found in the western United States and managed by\u00a0Bureau of Land Management (BLM)<\/a>. Originally mustangs were Spanish horses or their descendants, however throughout the years they had influence from many different horse breeds. There are several mustang registries, but overall there is just too much complexity to consider them in breed ancestry analysis.<\/p>\n
