Whereas livestock brands have been a proud part of western Canada’s western and frontier heritage since before Confederation;

​

Whereas these brands not only serve to identify livestock, but are also heraldic symbols for livestock owners;

​

Whereas the rich history of livestock brands in Canada is one that is shared with Indigenous peoples;

​

And whereas Parliament recognizes the importance of including an element of western and frontier culture in the official national symbols of Canada;

​

Now, therefore, His Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada, enacts as follows:

​

​

The livestock brand illustrated in the schedule is hereby recognized and declared to be the national livestock brand of Canada.
