Does loud noise affect beef cattle production?
Yes. Loud noise (as in handlers yelling at cattle, not the running of a tractor) excites cattle, which can make them harder to work with and more wary of you when you next work with them.

Less docile cattle tend to have lower immunity, more stress, and more mortality rates (not to mention tougher meat) than more docile ones.

Why do cowboys brand cattle?
Back in the day, cattle were kept in open range, so different herds could be mixed up. After calves were born in the spring, the owners and their cowboys would round up the cattle and sort out which calves belonged to which mother and brand them accordingly. If the cattlemen were going to take the cattle to be sold, then they could work together to get them to market since ownership was clear.
