[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 406621, member: 615"] They hold relatively still, for the most part. different animals move more than others. the 8 - 12 second checkmark is usually when you have to be the most careful. If they jump and you dont think you can hold it in the same spot, its best to pull the brand off, and place it back down in the exact same spot. We haven't had too much trouble doing the brandings, with them jumping. The big downfall is how long it takes compared to hot branding. You have to shave the spot on the animal, clean it with alcohol, and then hold the brand for atleast 30 seconds if you are using liquid nitrogen, and longer if you use dry ice. Ryan [/QUOTE]
