Freeze Brand

FAQ

How do I get a custom freeze brand?

To make your custom freeze brand, send us the design you want. This can include a written description, a computer CAD file, a faxed copy of an image, or a hand-drawn sketch.

We’ll create a computer-generated CAD drawing and send it to you for approval. Once you approve it, we will send you the invoice and get started. You won’t pay anything until the file is approved.

More often than not, your brand design will match the CAD artwork within a few thousands of an inch.

Your brand will be completed and shipped in about two weeks. Each order includes steel handles.

How detailed can the design be?

We use special tools to create detailed brands. However, more detailed designs will be more expensive.

Excessive detail is not recommended to ensure consistent branding results. A simpler design will yield better results on your first brand.

Not sure if your design is too detailed? Send us a message or give us a call, and we can help you out.

How are freeze brands constructed?

Our freeze brands are cast from red brass. They have slightly rounded faces and corners to prevent the brand from cutting into the animal during the branding process.

What sizes are best for different animals?

For horses, we recommend a minimum character height of 2 inches with an overall brand size of 4 inches. A typical horse freeze brand is ¼ “ thick. We often sell 3”-5” brands for horses.

For cattle, we recommend a minimum character height of 3 inches with an overall brand size of 5 inches for mature cattle. A typical cattle freeze brand is 3/8” thick. We often sell 5.5” to 6” brands for cattle.
