[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1481648, member: 24016"] Look into a new Andis 5 speed clipper with a number 10 or 7 head. We have a Heiniger Saphir cordless that is awesome too. It is quite a bit more expensive than the Andis, but is super nice to hold, balances well, and battery life is great. I won't buy another corded fitting clipper ever again after using the Saphir. Either way, these will generally clip tight enough for freeze branding. You can also use Windex to set a brand instead of alcohol. Works in a pinch. Whichever you use, plan to have a good spray bottle to apply. I generally leave the iron on until the area thumps like cardboard on your knuckle and the brand's outline is easy to see. Length of time depends on each animal. My older bulls would take much longer to set than a calf for instance. On horses, it only takes 7 to 10 seconds. [/QUOTE]
