Historical Note

In February 1865, the first Montana Territorial Legislature passed "An Act concerning marks and brands" which barred two people from using the same brand in any one county and required the registering of all brands with the county clerk. Brand registration was made a territory-wide requirement in 1872, under the Clerk of the Supreme Court. Beginning in 1877, registration was handled by the State Treasurer. The Board of Stock Commissioners was created in 1885. The Secretary of the Board was, ex officio, the Recorder of Marks and Brands, and had the power to hire stock inspectors for Montana and for selected out-of-state markets such as St. Paul, Minnesota. All stock shipped out of the territory had to carry a brand. In 1915, the inspection law was amended to require inspection whenever livestock was transported across county lines. Proceeds from the sale of cattle branded with other people's brands had to be turned over to the stock inspector for distribution to the brand owners. In 1917 the Board of Stock Commissioners and the Board of Sheep Commissioners were legally merged to form the new Livestock Commission.

For the next 12 years the Commission shared a secretary with the Montana Stockgrowers Association. In 1929, Paul Raftery was appointed as the Commission's first full-time executive officer, acting ex officio as Recorder of Marks and Brands. After Raftery's death in 1946, Ralph Miracle took over the position, followed by William G. Cheney in 1954. Under the executive reorganization of 1971, the Department of Livestock became the administrative arm of the Livestock Commission and the Livestock Sanitary Board. The functions of the Recorder of Marks and Brands were taken over by the new Department of Livestock's Brands Enforcement Division.

Content Description

The bulk of the records consist of general correspondence (1919-1974) arranged at first by correspondent and subject, and after 1960 almost entirely by correspondent. Correspondence primarily concerns cattle shipments, law enforcement, brand registration, legislation, and relations with other states' law enforcement and livestock agencies and local stockgrowers associations. In addition, there are case files (1927-1973) concerning cattle thefts, marketing problems, and fee collection; financial records, including journals of receipts and disbursements (1887-1891) and livestock market shipping ledgers (1929-1966); scattered minutes of annual meetings, district and inspectors meetings, and meetings of other organizations on which the Livestock Commission held a seat; and reports, including annual reports (1935-1940, 1946-1949), monthly reports (1950-1960), and investigative reports. The reports also include an unpublished brand book (1984-1985) that is organized by geographic region; an index is included for each region. A miscellany series includes lists of brands, brand inspectors, lost and stolen cattle from Canada, North and South Dakota, Oregon, Colorado, Washington, and the Crow and Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservations.

Processing Note

In 2024, the various collections of the Department of Livestock were integrated under one collection identifier, RS 500, in order to help facilitate access, reduce redundancy in the Montana Historical Society Library & Archives catalog, and to follow best archival practices.

Collections from the Department of Livestock's Divisions and Boards that were previously treated as separate entities are now integrated into this collection, RS 500. Rather than reprocessing over 50 linear feet of Livestock materials, MTHS staff decided to keep the past arrangement of those collections/finding aids and provide access to them via links in this central finding aid. This decision has allowed the MTHS archival staff to maintain intellectual control over the collection, while removing the need to reprocess it. It also keeps State Agency finding aids at manageable sizes. Please read the Content Note carefully to determine if this subgroup/sub-subgroup pertains to your research needs.
