Freeze Branding
Branding times vary according to the type of metal in the irons (all times shown here are for L & H brass freeze branding irons) and the age, skin thickness and color of the animal. Branders should calibrate their freeze branding irons by branding the recommended times and keeping accurate records of times and results.
| Animal | Coolant | Application Time |
| Colt | Liquid Nitrogen | 6-12 Seconds |
| Dry Ice & Alcohol | 16-24 Seconds | |
| Horse | Liquid Nitrogen | 8-12 Seconds |
| Dry Ice & Alcohol | 20-24 Seconds | |
| Calf | Liquid Nitrogen | 21-24 Seconds |
| Dry Ice & Alcohol | 40-50 Seconds | |
| Cow | Liquid Nitrogen | 25-30 Seconds |
| Dry Ice & Alcohol | 50-60 Seconds |
Branding Procedure
Chill the irons in the desired coolant. Pour enough coolant into the container to adequately cover the heads of the irons by 1". The surface of the coolant will appear to boil when the irons are introduced into the coolant, when this boiling subsides the irons are as cool as the coolant will allow and are ready to use.
Restrain the animal with your desired method, squeeze chute or calf table for cattle and twitch or stock for horses, making sure the site to be branded is accessible. If the animal needs to be sedated consult your veterinarian.
Clean the brand site of foreign material. Clip the brand site as square as possible, particularly at the bottom, to aid in square placement of the brand. Throughly dry the brand site if the animal is sweating or is wet from the rain or washing.
Squirt room temperature alcohol over the brand site, thoroughly covering the entire area. This removes some skin oils and helps transfer cold from the iron head to the skin.
Immediately after the alcohol soak, quickly remove the appropriate iron from the container, align it properly and firmly press the iron squarely on the brand site. As the iron is pressed to the skin the stopwatch should be started. Hold the iron firmly, applying 35 to 45 pounds of steady pressure, with a slight rocking motion. When the appropriate time has elapsed on the stopwatch, the iron should be immediately removed from contact with the skin.
Fire Heated Branders
L & H Fire Heated Branding Irons are made of rust resistant non-corrosive copper alloy and have a 1/4" flat face. They produce a good clear brand because the unit is vented at intersecting points to prevent blotching. They are also equipped with a heavy-duty, one-half inch steel handle, thirty-two inches long. As copper alloy has a lower melting point than steel, caution should be used when heating these irons. Particular caution should be used when using propane branding iron heaters. These branders will not turn ash grey as steel irons, but will retain its natural dull copper color when hot. All special design Fire Heated Branders are normally shipped within 2 weeks from the date order is received.

Number BrandersL & H Manufacturing Company, originator of the tubular electric brander, continues to lead the industry by being the first to develop a convenient and permanent way of numbering livestock for production testing. Because branding elicits a permanent mark, the L & H Number Set is in popular demand throughout the country. Universities, Extension Services, Livestock Associations and Cattlemen have been using these sets for many years with complete satisfaction. The L & H Number Set consists of three complete and individual irons. The first brander has the numbers one, two & three; the second has the numbers four, five & six; the third has the numbers seven, eight & zero. By inverting the six the number nine can be made. All numbers on the brander are hot at the same time and are offset so each can be applied separately. Only a few minutes of your time is needed to make a brand that will stay with the animal for a lifetime. Number sets are available with the numbers side by side or numbers one above the other in a vertical position.
