[QUOTE="429421blkangus, post: 925311, member: 18647"] We freeze brand our cattle as yearlings, the bulls because the customers really seem to like it and the heifers for ease of id in the big pastures we breed in. 2 minutes with a 3/8 copper iron cooled with dry ice and 99% iso alcohol works great for us, we have a good crew with a set system using two chutes we can get 100 head done in one day if we really hustle. Took a few years to get it right and to get away from the liquid nitrogen cooling system, also it really helps to get a good close shave and clean the area with a stiff brush and alcohol just before the irons go on to get the best possible transfer.
