Travis marks his pigs "Old Yeller" to distinguish them from other animals and to establish ownership. This identification is crucial for managing his livestock, especially in case they wander off or become mixed with other herds. Additionally, marking helps in tracking their health and breeding, ensuring he can maintain a well-organized farm. It also reflects the importance of personal attachment and recognition of specific animals in rural life.

Old Yeller needs to mark the family pigs that year to ensure they can be easily identified and distinguished from other livestock. This is important for preventing mix-ups and protecting the family’s property, especially in a time when wild animals and other dangers pose threats to farm animals. Marking the pigs helps the family keep track of their herd and maintain their livelihood.
Travis used a combination of calling the pigs and strategically herding them into a pen. He often employed patience and understanding of the pigs' behavior, along with the help of his dog, to guide them effectively. This method allowed him to gather the pigs without causing stress or panic among them.

In "Old Yeller," settlers can identify their hogs through distinctive markings or brands that they apply to their animals. These markings help differentiate their livestock from others that roam freely. Additionally, the familiarity of the settlers with their own pigs and their behaviors further aids in recognizing ownership. This system allows for some level of order despite the free-range nature of the hogs.
