Erik Van Dorn Huntsville, TX 936-661-7958 bornhogwild@msn.comWe clipped the hair with some horse clippers and then held my brass brand on the dog for 8 seconds. We used liquid nitrogen. The grown dogs turned out white as you see, did the same on a 4 month old pup and it burned her skin and turned out black, last picture. Boogie  Jett  Jodi  |

G'day Folks,
Could someone tell me the reason it is preferred that a brand iron is made of Brass ??
Also has anyone made and used medical grade stainless steel as a brand iron and is it acceptable or advisable.
Thanks for any help or advise.
Cheers

The brass retains temperature better. It doesn't warm up as fast as the stainless once applied to the animal. Copper or copper alloys are supposed to be the best about temperature retention but brass is probably the most common because of cost. The stainless works but is a lot harder to get consistent results with, especially on larger animals like cattle and horses where it has to be held on longer. The up side to stainless is you can use it for freeze branding or as a hot iron. I have never used stainless but have never talked to anyone that had real good results with them. The branding iron companies will tell you the same or they did when I was deciding. Hope that's what you were needing.

Appreciate your reply t-dog. My son knows of a fella that makes his own branding irons with medical grade stainless but use's them on stock only. We were thinking of maybe using them to mark our dogs with. We may have to contact a branding iron company. Thanks again t-dog. Cheers |

You're welcome bud! I had mine made and it was less than $100. I figured it was worth that to keep the thieves somewhat honest and it will last you forever.
