the reason that Kyro Kinetics does the symbols, is that they can not be
easily altered, as regular numbers can. While you can change a 1 to a 4, or
a 3, 5, 6, or 7 to an 8 etc., the symbols can not be altered from
one symbol to another.
KK made a mistake many yrs ago on my stallion and they altered the symbols
to fix it. Besides to many people are not going to go through that much trouble
to find the same size brand, find liquid nitrogen and change a number. The main
reason I did it was for horses that were sold or resold and papers never get
transfer then someone down the road wants papers. These horses can always be
IDed. Another good reason was when I went to someone's farm after the death of
the owner, all they had were 30 greys and no one knew who was who. Several of
the older ones were freeze branded, they were IDed, papers were transferred and
they went on but the other never were figured out so were sold without
papers.
