Ranchers are now using freeze branding as a way to reliably ID their cattle without the traditional use of hot-iron brands. This method of branding with extremely cold irons is characterized by white hair replacing the natural hair coat in the branded area of cattle.
Since its development, freeze branding has been used successfully when applied with the proper technique. Freeze branding destroys the natural pigments in hair thus producing the growth of white hair.
