[QUOTE="Rangenerd, post: 466832, member: 4971"] We freeze branded our angus replacement heifers for the first time last year. We learned that you have to clip the hair clear down to the skin, keep the skin saturated with alcohol, and leave the iron on longer. The research suggested 24 seconds, but that wasn't nearly long enough - we're trying 30-40 seconds this year. The brands turned our okay last year, but we learned that we need to leave the brand on longer. We'll definately keep freeze branding the heifers - it beats losing ear tags all the time. [/QUOTE]
