C.R.S. Section 35-53-125
Inspection at point of origin


(1)

Any cattle moved from a pasture shall be inspected for brands by an authorized brand inspector at the point of origin before they are placed in a feed lot, and proof of ownership shall be shown on demand by any Colorado brand inspector or any other interested party. Any cattle found carrying questionable brands when an inspection is made shall be held and handled as estrays or questionably-owned cattle, as provided by law. Such inspections shall be made before mixing with any other cattle, and when any uninspected cattle are mixed prior to an inspection, an inspection shall be made on all the cattle so mixed, and the inspection fee shall be collected. A brand inspector shall be authorized to release the cattle to be inspected at the point of origin for an inspection to be made at any designated place where proper facilities are available.

(2)

In the event that two or more parties claim ownership of questionably-owned cattle, the state board of stock inspection commissioners may provide for arbitration of the claim of ownership under the supervision of the said board or under the supervision of such officer or agent of the said board as may be designated by the said board.
