Freeze branding is therefore seen as a permanent and low-impact means of tracking amphibians. [7] Freeze branding was tested on frogs that were released into the wild after branding and later recaptured. One set of researchers used a branding iron made from a length of copper wire, cooled in a dry ice ethanol bath for 30 minutes.
The branding iron consisted of an iron rod with a simple symbol or mark which was heated in a fire. After the branding iron turned red-hot, the cowhand pressed the branding iron against the hide of the cow. The unique brand meant that cattle owned by multiple owners could then graze freely together on the commons or open range.
Besides livestock, freeze branding can also be used on wild, hairless animals such as dolphins for purposes of tracking individuals.

[20] Immediately after the freeze branding iron is removed from the skin, an indented outline of the brand will be visible.
