You all should just set up a little tent at Bremond on the 20th and get after it.
Charge $10 a pop, and donate it to TDHA.

Bryant...That's a great idea. Being as you have successfully branded 10 dogs at 100%, and my record is 4 dogs at 50%, I think you might need to be the one to setup the tent |

Chris, The last time we did it, very last dog not only pissed all over me, but he also shot a small turd out that hit me in the leg. That was the start, and also the finish to my branding career.  |

I should be able to do it that weekend I thought about going to the bremond bay and just watching.we can do it that weekend if yall want to.I don't mind helping but don't want to try to do this for money again.I sold all my irons exept for my horse irons I used to have every size and every letter but there just was not enough profit in it and dealing with horse people is a story of its own.

We did several dogs not too long ago, except we bought liquid nitrogen from the welding house. Got a cheap styrofoam cooler (like from a convience store) and cut a hole in the top just big enough for the brand to fit it. Pour some nitrogen in close the lid and put the brand down in the hole until it stops "boiling".
The key to the whole operation is to hold the brand on long enough. You'll need about four guys to help hold. We ran them probably close to 10 seconds.
Also be sure to shave the dog completely bare where you intend to brand.
That is exactly how we do cattle. |

I LOVE THE IDEA OF YALL SETTING UP A BOOTH A BREMOND AND DONATING AT BREMOND. THAT WOULD REALLY MAKE THE DRIVE ALOT EASIER FOR ME.

We use liquid nitrogen in a stirofoam cup. Shave the area and clean with rubbing alcohol. The alcohol evaporates any moisture on the skin (important step). Held "rocking" pressure for about 13 seconds. On white dogs hold pressure longer and the brand will appear colorless.

Almost forgot - we gave our dogs a sedative. Made the whole process ALOT easier. Still took 3 people - 2 to hold the dog and 1 to brand.
