About RNR Farms

Have you ever given your child something and 5 seconds later they've already lost it? Cattle are like that with ear ID tags and will constantly lose them no matter what you try. But why ID at all? IDs are important because they allow us to keep track of all the essential information about that particular animal for its entire lifetime. When an animal was sick, how it was treated. Growth records. Birth records. You name it, you can find it under their ID#. Freeze brands allow us to permanently ID the animal so we always know who is who, even when they've lost their ear tag...again.

Freeze branding is permanent and painless. It uses extreme cold to alter the cells in the hair follicle the produce pigment, which causes the hair to regrow as white. It takes about 45 seconds and the process only bothers the animal for about 3-5 seconds and the area is completely numb.

We use liquid nitrogen and a brass branding iron to freeze brand. The branding iron was made specifically for us with our farm brand that is registered with the state of Pennsylvania. If you see our brand, you know exactly where that animal came from.
