Freezebranding with Dry Ice

Clear, humane and effective permanent Identification for Livestock

How the Freeze Branding Process Works

Place the dry ice into a container and pour methylated spirits over the Dry Ice.

Place the branding iron into this super-cooled alcohol mixture. Once sufficiently cooled, press it against the animal’s hide.

This applies the permanent brand mark without damaging the hide. 

Why Choose Freeze Branding

  • Clear, permanent visible identification
  • Easy to read from a distance
  • Ideal for horses and cattle
  • Supports herd management and traceability
  • Popular with breeders and farming contractors
  • Humane and effective alternative to hot branding

What Type of Dry Ice do I Need?

With a temperature of -78oC, Dry Ice blocks or slices are most suitable for freeze-branding.

How Much Dry Ice Do I Need?

This depends on herd size, weather, equipment, and branding duration.
