[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1093960, member: 14713"] Don't know about your state but in SD freeze branding is NOT legal for ID purposes. Only registered hot iron brands permitted. IIRC, renewal is every 5 yrs. I sold my brand with my cows, but I still own a couple other brands. Don't have anything against electric branding irons, but they certainly have limitations. You must have access to electricity or pack around a generator. Then the cord on an electric would be a real pain if you didn't use a stationary calf table. I'd just as soon listen to a LP branding stove than a generator. :roll: Also used a hot iron dehorner set. My preference for hot irons is stainless steel. Local place makes anything you need. The keep common irons like bars, quarter cirlces, etc. Special orders require a little lead time. [/QUOTE]
