What is a "Milliron X"?

- -

- It's a - cattle brand, - of course! My cattle brand! -

- -

- The milliron is the bar with a bend in the middle. It does not - represent anything physical or textual per se, and is therefore a - rather unique element in cattle brands. Millirons are difficult to modify into - another brand, and provide a guarantee of authentic ownership. -

- -

- X is the letter of mystery and mystique. For nerds, it's the - unknown in any algebra problem. Ranchers and cowboys will associate it with - big names like the "Bar X" and the "Double X." In either case, it lends itself - to a sense of withholding, prestige, and power. -

- -

- Together, these two symbols represent the qualities I strive for in each of my - works: authenticity, originality, power, depth, and prestige. -
