[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 592552, member: 8829"] hope this helps I use elctric irons and as far as hair goes put the iron on for a few seconds and burn the hair off usually the cow will move when you do this then in the same spot put the iron on and count to eight if the brand looks white you were on too long and the hide is beginning to sluff off so cut back on the time you can always go back on, on black cows you want a saddle leather color. by putting the iron on twice you get a cleaner brand and the iron doesn't slip as much and the cow usually doesn't move the second time you after you burn the hairoff i guess it kinda desensitizes the area [/QUOTE]
