{"title":"Marking: marker sticks \u0026 sprays","description":"\u003cp\u003eA marker stick for sheep is a crayon-like stick for quickly putting a temporary colour mark on the wool; a marking spray does the same, but faster and over a larger area, including on the short coat of cattle.

For example: red for treated, blue for sold, a stripe on the head for a ewe with twins. With the raddle harness, you work from light to dark and change colour every cycle of the ewe, about every 17 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNote\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA colour mark is temporary and does not replace an ear tag.
