Morven Branding Board
Visit the Morven Branding Board because the branding of cattle is an integral part of raising cattle. The 'brands' are unique designs that belong to each cattle property.
In the past, using a hot branding iron, the brands were branded onto the skin of the cattle, as proof of ownership of that particular Stations' cattle. Today many owners now use indelible ink stencils to 'brand' their cattle. A recent innovation is to insert micro chips under the skin of the cattle.
To celebrate the year of the Outback in 2002, a re-enactment of the Harry Redford Cattle Drive was carried out. As the Cattle Drive travelled through Morven, the Community got together to celebrate the occasion, by burning their local cattle brands into a piece of bloodwood 'The Branding Board'.
The branding Board is a collection of Brands from the surrounding properties who paid to have their mark placed on this board. Monies raised were then donated to the Starlight Foundation. Please take a look at each brand and you will notice some innovative designs. For cattle people often a quick glance at the brands is all they need to recognise the station that the cattle have come from.
