Well sir, the Library has its own, genuine, registered brand: M-P-L connected, with a rocker. We can brand horses and cattle on the left hip, sheep anywhere, and staff on the left hip and right shoulder. Course, the staff is gettin' plumb riled up over the ear notching and Gene's gettin' right testy over the cuttin', but he'll calm down after it's over.

So we kin run our own cattle and make wallets from the hides.
