Function / Content

This series consists of a distinctive numerical register used for the administration of livestock identification in the Northern Territory. In accordance with the Northern Territory Brands Act and Regulations, distinctive numerical brands could be registered for use on a particular holding for the identification of individual animals, generally horses, in the herd. Next to the owner's brand, the distinctive numeral brand would consist of an individual sequence or drop number over the foaling year number. Upon registration of a brand, the owner of the brand would receive a certificate of registration. For the purposes of Section 16(1) of the Brands Act, the Registrar was required to keep a register of numerical brands. Entries in the register include a description of the brand, name and address of the owner, reference number to the Registrar's file relating to the brand, and the date of registration of the brand (Brands Regulation 11). Entries were updated to indicate transfers and cancellations.
