As part of the abandoned process all delinquent brands not renewed before December 31, 2017, will be moved to the abandoned brand category January 8, 2018.Abandoned brand lists will be on the website wlsb.state.wy.us and also available at the office at 1934 Wyott Drive, Cheyenne, WY. Requests for abandoned brands must be accompanied by a complete application and the required fee of $330.00. All brands will be researched for conflicts prior to re- issuance.
