[QUOTE="Dusty Roads, post: 466446, member: 7016"] htrc, the freezing kills the pigment in the skin so the color of the hair is gone. This means that it will "jump" out on a black cow, it will [u]stand[/u] out on a red cow, the darker red the better. The only problem is, it is almost imposible to see on a white cow. I have the freeze brand on red and white cows, and if you stand at the right angle you can make out the brand on the white, so it will work for idendtification, but that is about it. The hair needs to be buzzed off, and the brand needs to be held on a while longer. After that it is less trama on the cow, but a lot more trama on your pocketbook. Good luck D.R. [/QUOTE]
