Dunmasc Genetics Freeze Branding Course

Our Freeze Branding Course provides comprehensive, hands-on training in how to safely and effectively apply freeze brands to cattle for permanent identification.

Participants will learn:

• The purpose and advantages of freeze branding
• All required equipment and how to prepare it
• Safe handling of refrigerants and equipment
• Best-practice animal handling for safe, low-stress branding
• A full step-by-step branding technique, including hide preparation, iron cooling, correct application times, and optimal pressure

The course also covers aftercare, troubleshooting common issues, and guidance on current identification regulations.

Why choose freeze branding?
Freeze branding provides long-lasting, highly visible identification that cannot be lost like ear tags. It is more humane than hot branding, leaves the hide intact, and creates a clear, permanent mark that supports accurate record-keeping and helps deter theft.
