In need of someone to brand dogs i cant seem to find any person or vet that will do it i got some dogs that aint leavin my place and want them branded and these dogs are wanted by lots of people

You can get the branding irons for freeze branding and all the instructions at L & H Branding Irons (Google search).  You can use dry ice and alcohol , but liquid nitrogen is best, and you can get it from large welding gas suppliers.  The brand will be cold enough when you see frost moving up the shaft to the handle.  I use 8 seconds (ie, like a bull ride!) as the usual holding time, but some dogs with very thin skins, usually females, will scar at 8 seconds, so if you think you have one, go less, 5 to 6 seconds.  If it does not take, try again in a few months, maybe at another site.
