I think they look real good bud. I do my own. Had a brand made but we use liquid nitrogen because it's faster as far as the length of hold time. Some dogs stand and some do cart wheels. So we use lots of hands, tie them up, but the best way is to put them in a breeding stand like the old pit men use to use. Two things I've learned is to make sure the skin is really clean and to let that iron get really cold. The frost should really climb the handle. I only hold it for 6 or 7 seconds with the liquid nitrogen. You have to be able to judge the thickness of the skin. Thinner means less time and thicker means more. I also rolled or rocked it around too drastically at first. Roll it but don't break contact on one side while trying to roll it and make better contact on the other. Those are some of my experiences, I'm no pro though!
