The division has 68 brand inspector supervisors, inspectors and administrative personnel in 10 districts throughout the state.
It is 100 percent funded by the brand assessments and inspection fees, with an annual budget of more than $4 million.
Division personnel travel more than 1 million miles and inspect more than 4 million head of livestock each year.
The district currently administers almost 35,000 brands.
