Bovine Freeze Branding

Freeze branding is a method of permanent identification used in cattle herds to mark each animal with a unique and recognisable brand. Freeze branding has been widely used within the stud and commercial industries to identify individual animals for record purposes.

Individual animals can be freeze branded with a year letter ID, individual number ID along with a herd brand or if ownership identification is only needed a herd breed only can be used in a commercial setting.

Freeze branding is an extremely useful form of permanent identification that is best used in conjunction with NLIS tags to form two points of identification and tractability.
