The 2016 North Dakota Brand Record is now available from the North Dakota Stockmen's Association.

The new 614-page brand book contains information regarding the more than 18,000 brands renewed during North Dakota's recent brand renewal period. It also features a hard cover for improved durability and longevity, says Rachael Preusse, NDSA brand recorder.

The 2016 North Dakota Brand Record is black in color, 8.5 x 11 inches in size and uses the same open design and easy-to-navigate index as the previous edition.

"Its hard cover also makes the book a special keepsake," Preusse says.

NDSA published the first edition in 1892.

A new North Dakota Brand book has been published.

The book is available for $48 each if it is picked up at the NDSA office or $53.72 each, which includes postage, if it is mailed. The electronic version of the book on CD is available for $19 each. The prices include the initial book or CD, as well as five annual supplements.
