Cattle Brand Alphabet

Brands are read from left to right, from the top down or from the outside to the inside. If a letter or symbol is made backwards from its normal position, it’s read as a reverse. At its most basic, a cattle brand is composed of a few simple letters and numbers, possibly in combination with a basic shape or symbols like a line, circle, heart, arc, or diamond. Simply the letters turned over on their side. The letters are combined in some manner.
