[QUOTE="Dylan Biggs, post: 813495, member: 14282"] A good thorough description of the procedure from Mr. Rayl. We will try the constant misting this spring, we do calves at 2 months for 15 seconds, with an ownership brand and do our replacements as yearlings or long yearlings. We don't use surgical blades so there is a little hair left to hold the alcohol, but maybe with constant misting leaving hair wouldn't be nessecary. I am going to try the constant misting. We can't get dry ice on the bus any more, so have to drive 195 miles one way to get it, easier to get liquid nitrogen from the guy that fills our tanks. He is right about nitrogen freezing to hard if left to long and killing the hair follicle completely instaed of just the color follicle. Do you put good solid pressure on the iron in addition to the rocking motion? We have found the rocking motion to be important also, depending to some extent on brand location. Ours is the hip.
