How to Use the Records

Entries in the register are chronological by date of registration of brand

Function / Content

This series consists of a transfer of brands register used for the administration of livestock identification in the Northern Territory. Brands could be transferred from an owner to another person through an application for transfer, upon receipt of which the Registrar would cancel the registration in the name of the transferor and register the brand in the name of the new owner. The transfer of a brand operated as a transfer of all other brands and earmarks owned by the transferor in respect of the run in connection with which the transferred brand was used (Brands Regulations 21 and 22). The Registrar was required to keep a register of transfer of brands (Brands Act, Section 16), which provided information about owners and brands. The register includes a description of the brand, name and address of the transferee and transferor, reference number to the Registrar's file relating to the brand, and the date of transfer of the brand. Entries were updated to indicate ensuing transfers and cancellations.
