How can I brand an animal?
<|assistant|>
Branding an animal requires several steps, including cleaning the animal's coat, disinfecting the area, making sure to use a hot iron and custom design, and making sure to apply pressure in order to ensure proper branding. It is important to make sure the animal receives proper care afterwards to minimize the chances of infection. Additionally, it might be necessary to obtain local permits, as well as veterinary supervision, depending on the regulations of your locality.
