A branding bracket is provided that has a bracket assembly and branding irons. The bracket assembly has a guide plate having two or more notches cut out of a top surface that receive the shaft of a branding iron. Guides are attached to the rear surface of the guide plate. When a branding iron is placed in the notch, a sleeve positioned on the shaft of the branding iron is slid over the guide to lock the branding iron to the bracket assembly, while still allowing the branding irons to move independently of one another. In one arrangement, the guide plate has multiple notches to allow the use of different sized branding irons, such as 3″, 4″ and 5″ irons.
