Common Uses

Used during breeding season to identify the ewes that have been covered.
Benefits

  • Eliminates the need for a breeding harness.
  • Container reseals, so there's no waste.
  • Comes in three colors: red, blue, and green.
How to Use

When using vegetable oil: Mix 2 parts powder to 1 part oil into a thick paste.

When using mineral oil: Mix 2 parts powder to 1-1/2 parts of mineral oil into a thick paste.

Rub paste into the lower neck/brisket. Apply fresh raddle to brisket every 2 to 5 days. Wool or hair growth of 2 to 3 months on the brisket helps to absorb/release the paste. (OB gloves help #550900).
Precautions

Usually takes more than one application. It is more work and mess than a breeding harness.
