Freeze branding is an excellent way to permanently identify cattle and other livestock species. Topics for the workshop will include all necessary steps required for properly freeze branding livestock using liquid nitrogen or dry ice to destroy or alter the pigment producing cells of the hair follicle. When properly administered the hair grows back white in color making for a very legible brand, especially when applied to dark-hided livestock. To provide hands-on instruction, participants will have the opportunity to assist in freeze branding replacement heifers at MU Wurdack Farm. The cost of the workshop is $10 per person and the class size is limited. Reservations are required by Friday, January 22nd. For more information or to reserve a space, please contact Ted Cunningham, Livestock Specialist at the Dent County MU Extension Office at 573-729-3196 or visit www.extension.missouri.edu/dent/.
