What if y'all come cross your dogs baying a cow n land you know good and dang well there aint supposed to be cows on, matter of fact there ain't posta be cows for a couple miles. She's wearing a brand you ain't never seen, do you say finders keepers, guess we're having steaks tonight?? Does your attitude change if she's got no brand?
How about if they bay a big ol chesterwhite boar with a yellow eartag? Same boar with no tag, but he's been marked barred and tail clipped?
Integrity is what you do when nobody is watching.
Earmarks ain't common no more, but that's all the more reason to respect them when you you find them, mine is a tipped off right ear with a half square visibly missing. Please make a note of it.
Great minds think alike
I doubt y'all would ever see my mark across the Texas line anyways, but if you come across a "swallowfork upperbit and swallowfork" be sure to cut him back loose, he's done swam a few rivers and deserves it.
