[QUOTE="Beef Man, post: 1114771, member: 13859"] Here in Mt. May & June there is a branding every day, that it don't rain. 99% 0f all calves born are hot iron branded, vaccinated ,steers cut and whatever the owner wants done for the year. It is quite often a community event and one of the spring social's. Hot iron brand's are the possitive claim of ownership in most western states. It is highly recomended that the face of the iron be at least 1/2 inch and at least 4in for calves and 6in for older cattle. Branding is a art and is usually applied by a family member. Most operators are proud of their brands and really try to make a neat and clean mark. It is only recently that electric irons have been used but oldtimers laugh about them as most don't make a good readable brand as the face of a electric iron is not big enough. Hard to read especially in open country or from a horse. [/QUOTE]
