Flush with water and Cut N Heal. I will never freeze brand again.
What makes you not like branding?
The fact that the brand was held on too long one of my dogs skin ripped open and nearly cut her back ham in two. Another's skin ripped really bad both dogs were out of commission for months. Another one of my dogs brand did not hardly show up. I am sure of the right person did it? Results may have been better. JMO
