[QUOTE="chippie, post: 1034607, member: 5644"] Horses - 60 seconds Cattle - cattle 90 seconds to 2 minutes We have irons from L&H and never had a problem with an iron getting too warm. We use liquid nitrogen to cool the irons. We've used dry ice and alcohol once and it takes much longer than the liquid nitrogen to get the irons cold. We also use a surgical blade (#40) when clipping. Spray the area with 90% alcohol. let sit. spray again and wipe off the excess immediately before applying the iron. Here's the same brand on a horse.
