While I might not have my own ranch, with cattle in need of branding, I’m always on the look-out for ways to strengthen my brand. The portable 3D Branding Iron fits in your pocket just like a normal cigarette lighter, except it is custom made to include your brand’s logo or text. From the company’s site: “The branding iron clicks ...
