Deluxe Marking Harness
Our Deluxe Marking Harness is a world-class breeding harness because:
- Wider (2"), blue nylon straps—distribute pressure more evenly over the ram's body. Also easier to find and adjust the straps when they're in deep wool.
- Unique padded (0.2" thick) white straps behind the front legs to prevent skin abrasion.
- Much larger snap buckles and metal loops—harness's connection and stress points are reinforced. Even gloved hands can manipulate the large snap buckles.
- Crayon holder is also padded.
- Uses Marking Crayons sold separately.

I would give it a zero if I could.
Photo and directions are very confusing and after 45 minutes trying to first determine how to put it on and then trying to adjust straps. I finally took it off and threw it on the ground and turned my ram loose. Waste of time and money. Lucky my ram was patient. Never recommend this product.

After my last review, I contacted customer service about the broken buckle. I was hoping they would just send me a buckle replacement. Today I received an entirely new harness.

Disappointed—one buckle broke apart when putting it on the ram for the first time. Had to tie the strap through the ring. Buckles are definitely NOT heavy duty. These are weaker than the ones used on dog collars. Expected more quality for the price.

I do not care for the plastic snaps on this harness. My ram broke one on the first ewe he bred so I called and Premier replaced it free of charge and I was very grateful they did. When I received my replacement harness I went to put it on and the exact plastic snap broke as soon as I tried to snap it together. I just discarded using it all together and made my own makeshift buckle and it is holding up well other than that in the future I will look for one with metal buckles.

Works fine but very hard to adjust the buckles on or off the ram.
