         A person shall not use any brand for branding livestock, unless
      the brand has been recorded as provided by this chapter.  A person
      may use an unrecorded hot brand or an unrecorded cryo-brand,
      consisting only of Arabic numerals, if the person uses the unrecorded
      brand in conjunction with the person's recorded brand, and only for
      purposes of identifying animals within a herd.  However, the
      unrecorded brand shall not be evidence of ownership.  A person
      convicted of violating this section shall be guilty of an aggravated
      misdemeanor.
