[QUOTE="fnfarms1, post: 1283797, member: 24416"] I've have a 30+ cow herd made of 50% blacks, 30% charlois cross, and assorted reds and colored cattle. I am gradually moving toward the charlois crosses. I used both a charlois bull(to get my replacements) and a black balancer bull for black calves since blacks often top our markets. I plan to brand my cows in the spring, but am afraid the freeze brand will be a mistake due to several white/light colored cows. Opinions? Freeze brands look more professional. Growing up dad always used a hot iron so I have more experience with that. Never freeze branded. [/QUOTE]
