[QUOTE="Rangenerd, post: 290611, member: 4971"] I am thinking about freeze branding my replacement heifers. I have never tried this before so I have a few questions. Here is some background. I will be branding about 55 heifers. They will weigh between 550 and 600 lbs. We have good working facilities. I have read lots of litrature, so I understand the basics. 1) Am I better off using dry ice/alcohol, or should I try to get some liquid nitrogen. What are the advantages to each? Cost? How fast do each method gas off? How much am I going to need? 2) Everything that I read talked about branding cows. Do I need to adjust the iron contact time for heifers? 3) What are the tricks that people have picked up? [/QUOTE]
