What freeze branding is
Permanent · Humane · No broken skin
Freeze branding marks an animal permanently using extreme cold instead of heat. It is used on horses, cattle and other large livestock.
The iron is chilled to between −50 and −150 °F with liquid nitrogen or dry ice, then held against the skin for 10 to 60 seconds depending on the animal and the size of the mark. The cold kills the hair follicles, and the hair grows back white in the shape of the iron.
Because nothing is burned and the skin is never broken, it causes less pain and injury than hot branding and carries a lower risk of infection.
