Pink aerosol for sheep

[Girlfarmer]

Have used all the usual colours for putting tups marks on ewes. Could do with a pink aerosol for scanning. Does anyone know where I can get them from? Or another unusual colour? Thanks.

Thanks. I use those when dosing or jabbing but ideally looking for an aerosol so I can quickly mark twins, trips, quads at scanning.

Thank you

Those chilvers ones look the business but only have red available?

Used all the nettex colours already.

Would tail paint spray last long enough? Says 21 days...?

If you haven't already used it, then I'd suggest Richey's over scented marker spray in orange.

My old man headed off to town some time back and one of his jobs was to get some red marker spray.

So he came back with orange. I tutted to myself that it would be hopeless as it would be too pale.

How wrong could I be? It's so intensely luminous they must be able to read the lamb's numbers from space. It's incredibly handy if you've got an early uplift of lambs on a dark morning as you can see them without a torch!

The future's bright - the future's orange.

You would think somebody would already have dreamed up that snappy line

Yep, used all the Ritchie colours already. I told myself last year to save a colour for scanning but promptly forgot all about that when marking the ewes for tupping this year...

I'm sure I've seen photos of a TFF member's sheep with pink numbers before... anyone?

 

[Cab-over Pete]

We had some Ritchie orange and found it just spreads out forever and ends up all over the place.

No Pete, think you mean blue. .. Jesus, that was a mess.

I've seen trees marked for felling with pink spray so it must be available

Why do you need different colours for scanning? Can you not just mark them in a different place?

I have 3 groups that are being single sire mated to maternal rams, and each group has a ‘ram’ mark on their shoulder. Any raddle marks from returns will be at the arse end, assuming the rams don’t want shooting.
I will spray scanning marks on their loins.

I only need one different colour. You're right I could mark them on their side somewhere but if I could find pink I can put scan mark on their backs which would be preferable as easier to see in the pens.

I wondered how long it would be before the 'ever frugal (why buy two cans when one will do' @neilo turned up
