16 Chapter 16

Tal pointed to a few of his detailed notes and said, “A branding iron can be used in most branding. An iron brand is heated and placed against an object or livestock with the purpose of leaving a mark. One form of iron branding is fire-heated branding, which is a method that cowboys still use today. Irons require a longer time to heat, but the process is inexpensive. It’s why ranchers use it. The brands are inconsistent though, and become sloppy. Some are even indistinguishable. Fire-heated branding can be used on wood, steak, livestock, plastic, and leather.

“Another, more advanced form of branding is propane branding. Irons are heated with a steady flow of propane. Many irons can be heated at one time. By using this method, the temperature can be controlled at all times, unlike fire-heated branding.” He shuffled through some of the papers between us, collected what he was looking for, and said, “I think Evan Sting was the victim of freeze branding.”
