BISMARCK, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The North Dakota Stockmen’s Association (NDSA) has launched the 2021 North Dakota Brand Record online.
The online brand book contains information regarding the more than 19,000 brands renewed during the recent brand renewal period.
North Dakota law requires brands to be renewed every five years, which means all brands currently recorded are recognized in the online book.
Julie Ellingson, N.D. Stockmen’s Association executive vice president, will be honored as the Agriculturist of the Year at this year’s Little International Showmanship Contest.
The 95th Little International will be Feb. 12-13, 2021. Little I is organized by more than 300 members of North Dakota State University’s Saddle and Sirloin Club and led by manager Kadey Holm.
Ellingson will be honored at the Agriculturist of the Year banquet on Friday, Feb. 12.
Ellingson has worked for the North Dakota Stockmen’s Association since 1998. She started as communications director and has since assumed the role of executive vice president. Ellingson and her family also run Ellingson Angus at St. Anthony, N.D.

LASTING MARK: North Dakota ranchers will want to act soon to ensure they retain ownership of the brand for their livestock. Renew brands to avoid marketing problems with cattle.
Jan 28, 2021
North Dakota ranchers have another year to renew their livestock brands.
Brands that were not renewed by the end of 2020 were considered expired, but state law provides a one-year grace period, which prevents an expired brand from being picked up by a new owner in that 12-month period. The grace period, which ends Dec. 31, will protect brand owners from losing their brands by mistake.
