Freeze Brandng

Postby JConroy » Tue Nov 08, 2011 1:10 pm

I am looking for any information on freeze branding. I do not know anything about it, how it is done etc. It is something I would like to consider doing. Any info would be great.

You can also go to the LH brands site and they have a step by step method with either dry ice or liquid nitrogen.

Spray the area with 99.9% alchohol and then use liquid nitrogen and wait till your front is starting to frost up the branding handle, then when ready place brand firmly into the hide for 8 seconds.

We use this method on all our registered angus and sale bulls we go 20-25 seconds on cattle.

P.S. Soak the area you are going to brand VERY WELL with the Alchohol.

Hope this helps!!!!!

8 seconds does not seem long enough? Do you clip or shave the area to be branded?

I use an electric trimmer to buzz the area first. With nitrogen 8 seconds plenty dry ice is more like 15-20

8 seconds may be good with a good iron but using stainless takes longer 12-15 also depends on how much metal you have if you have a not so thick metal need to keep on longer and make sure you shave a deeper brass will not need to stay as long my thin stainless needs 15 seconds with nitrogen
