[QUOTE="plbcattle, post: 347805, member: 171"] I brand whatever time of year I can get around doing it. You need to clip the hair back in size of the brand. You will need to hold 30-45 seconds. If it is done properly, it kills the skin pigment and turns the hair white for the length of the animal. Putting alcohol on before some how spreads the brand out evenly. You can notice it all year and it looks better in my opinion. You can even see it good in winter when the coat grows out longer. I recommend using Liquid Nitrogen. It gets colder and it gets the brand colder quicker. I have noticed that the cattle don't jump or move as much as heat branding, I guess it doesn't hurt like fire brands. It takes a little longer but to me it looks better. [/QUOTE]
