Brands are made up of only one to four symbols at the most. The way these symbols are interpreted are very similar to reading in the English language. There are three rules you must know in interpreting brands:
- Read the brand from left to right,
- Read the brand from top to bottom, and/or
- Read the brand from outside to inside
Brands can be easily read either standing beside an animal on foot, or even on horse-back. You need to look at the flank part of the animal, particularly the left flank since that's the area where most brands are placed.
