So do most agree alcohol and dry ice make a better brand ?

Would liquid nitrogen make it easier ?

How do I mix dry ice and alcohol for a freeze brand? And how much do I need? 8 calves total. Have some weaned calves I want to freeze brand. First time thanks.

Lady. I don’t know what your problem is , but like I said. I am not a child go find someone else to pick a fight with. Judging by some of your comments, everything you say is negative. I have been in the cattle business longer than you have been alive.

I heard oats is better for grazing ? Have 15 acres now in oats tempted to let the cows out but worried about nitrate poisoning. I didn’t add any nitrogen. Would it be safe ?

Who makes a better more MARKETABLE bull Rainfall or Enhance? Going to use on heifers. Cows I can’t decide on President or Elation. I like Enhance scrotal , docility , growth. But he is weak mid rib on back. I will keep heifers.

I agree JD balers are to slow
