North Dakota Stockmen's Association publishes new brand book

The 2026 North Dakota Brand Record is now available from the North Dakota Stockmen's Association (NDSA).

The new 688-page brand book contains information regarding the nearly 20,000 brands renewed during North Dakota's recent brand renewal period. It also features a hard cover for improved durability and longevity, said Joan Zimmerman, NDSA brand recorder.

The 2026 North Dakota Brand Record is perfect-bound, blue in color, 8.5 x 11 inches in size and uses the same open design and easy-to-navigate index as previous editions.

"Its hard cover also makes the book a special legacy piece," Zimmerman said.

This is the latest edition of the state's brand record. The first was published in 1892.

The book is available for $100 each if it is picked up at the NDSA office, located at 4520 Ottawa St., Bismarck, ND 58503 or $110 each, which includes postage, if it is mailed. The prices include the original book, as well as five annual supplements, which will be mailed in approximately February each year.
