Branding cattle is a clear way of identifying ownership of stock.  The Northern Territory Livestock Act and Regulations uses a three-letter brand system where one letter must be the letter "T" and a distinctive (symbol) brand system.

To legally use a brand in the Northern Territory the brand must be registered in the NT and comply with the Livestock Act and Livestock Regulations.
