I helped Daniel and Tessia freeze brand. Freeze branding is much different than hot branding. The irons are placed in liquid nitrogen so that the metal forms ice on the handles.
The cow or bull is shaved.
Wiped down and sprayed with alcohol, the appropriate numbers are selected and held in place.
The brand is held in place for about 45 seconds, until the hide is hard and frozen.
The brand will peel just like a hot brand. After a while, the hair should grow in white. When that happens, I’ll grab a photo.
