The Hoofman  Freeze Branding Service.

Malcolm Hall, Alex Hall  and Charlie Harding are all trained in dry ice cattle branding working sometimes as a team branding over 200 cows a day and also individual working on smaller numbers.

How it works:

      The area to be branded is clipped and cleaned

      The irons are firmly placed on the animal for a specific period of time-depending on the age of the animal. The freeze branding irons are cooled to the correct temperature. Currently we use dry ice freeze branding which uses frozen carbon dioxide in order to cool our branding irons to a temperature of -78 Celsius

      The frozen irons kill the colour pigment in the hair, turning it white within 4 to 6 weeks
