Whats the best metal to use when making a brand.. I have heard brass..
Whats the length need to be?
How long do i need to keep it in liquid nitrogen before branding?
Shave or not to Shave?

Any concerns on this type of branding.?

Brass, bronze, or copper. DOn't need to shave ears, shave ribs and hips.

This is a great article about it...

I found that you will get alot better brand if you shave the spot, even the ears. Unless you have big dogs I'd buy smaller than 2" brand. Mines 2" and barely fit.
