Liquid nitrogen works really nice but its such a pain to get.... dry ice and alcohol work good if you have good help and someone to hold the dog down firmly while you apply it..... plus once you pull the iron off do not reapply it for weeks, I have a friend who has AA instead of A on the right ear... I told him the dog is a proud member of Alcoholics Anonymous  |

thats the pain to get the special container for transport but in all reality dry ice and alcohol only take a few more seconds to apply

I was thinking i would pull all those semen straws out and brand my dogs while they were AIn cows at the ranch. But my luck the Jerseys and Long horns on neibours would clean up and give it away. BTW Noelle you still feeding my GSP and Arrowbar when you get some of them off colored brindles on the ground let me know.

Ive been using the dry ice, but the last run i did, didnt turn out that well. got a buddy says he knows where a container is, so im gonna try the liquid N. this go around. Got a bunch im gonna do here in a week or two.
I think those containers are around $400.
The first time i tried it, they came out pretty good 10 lbs of dry ice to 1 gal. of alchohol. last time was 5 lbs of ice to 1/2 gal. alchohol. maybe i just didnt get it cold enough?

You can rent a Small AI container for a month and do a bunch of dogs, there ar e different size containers as well, we had a AI program on the ranch and i just poured some out into a large open mouth plastic thermos and dipped the brand in it, dry ice sucks as it takes to long to hold it on the dog, the nitrogen is way faster and not that hard to find, google AI breeders and they might even be going by your place and will sell you a gallon or 2 of the liquid, dry ice will get you bitten by the dog as its a lot slower, any cattle auction barn will know who is a roving AI breeder you can buy some liquid nitrogen from i would bet. Lots of welding gas places sell liquid nitrogen, look online for them in your area, they prob have a cheap overnight contianer you could throw away after you use it branding dogs. |

X2. From above Nitro is alot quicker than the ice method. I like to use nitro on light colored dogs due to having to kill the hair folicle. Ice works ok on darker dogs since you don't have to burn em in deep. But the longer it takes to burn em the better chance your gonna have for a messed up brand when they start kickin around.
