Sheriff encourages livestock owners to register with Cowdex
The staff of the Montague County Sheriff’s Office is committed to protecting both residents and their animals. That’s why the department utilizes the Cowdex Program — a simple way for livestock owners to register their animals with us.
- What is Cowdex? It’s a voluntary registration form where you can enter your contact info and list the type of animals you own (goats/sheep, cattle, equine, etc.).
- Why it matters: When we respond to livestock-related calls, this system helps us quickly verify ownership. If no owner is located, animals will be treated as estrays and impounded. Our goal is to keep animals safe and ensure rightful owners are contacted as fast as possible.
- Important note: Registering in Cowdex does not replace the mark/brand application and certification that must be submitted to the Montague County Clerk’s Office. If you have a brand to register, please contact that office directly.
Sheriff Marshall Thomas said let’s work together to keep Montague County informed, safe, and connected.
