Abstract: An apparatus for singeing the udder hair of dairy animals, the apparatus comprising a tank of liquid propane gas, a long pipe with an alignment of spaced holes to emit the gas to burn in the shape of a long thin vertical sheet flame, flexible hose connecting the tank exit to the burner pipe, and suitable controls such as a metering orifice, a gas pressure regulator, and an on-off valve. This apparatus may be combined into a convenient movable kit in which all of the above equipment is in a small compact wheeled container having a guiding handle and also preferably including an insulated fire retardant mitten and a spark generator for igniting the gas exiting the holes in the pipe.
