Cattle branding is a traditional method of permanently identifying livestock, primarily cattle, by applying a unique mark to their hide. This mark is typically made using a hot iron (hot branding).
Process & Preparation
Branding Aftercare
The branding iron is heated until it reaches a dull red color (around 500-700°F).
- The animal is properly restrained to ensure safety and precision.
Application:
- The hot iron is pressed firmly onto the animal’s hide for 3 to 5 seconds.
- It creates a burn that kills the hair follicles and leaves a permanent scar in the shape of the brand.
Considerations:
- Proper training and equipment are critical to avoid excessive burns or scarring.
- It can cause brief discomfort to the animal, so pain management and proper handling practices are encouraged.
