What's That on my Neck?

It's my freeze brand.
It means that I was born in the wild on BLM land.  What is BLM land?  I really have no idea, but there weren't any people around when I was a little burrolett, and my dear Mom was very wary of humans. (I wish I could talk to her - if you're out there, Mom - they're really not that bad!)   It's not really a number, but a series of angular marks that represent numbers.  My personal number is 04594768.  04 means I was born in 2004 and the rest of that beginning with 5 means that I was "gathered" (gathered??!  Hmm.... I guess that's one way to put it....) in Nevada.  That's the way Woman has deciphered it, anyway.  If you have any insight into the freeze brand topic, fire away in the comments!
