Specs
- 1.06 gallon
- Made in Australia specifically for use on sheep as a marking fluid
How to Use
- Shake tin and stir well with a broad flat paddle before using.
- Dip the face of the Premier Branding Iron in the fluid. Let the paint drip off the iron (into the can) to remove excess paint.
- Press firmly against the sheep.
- Let the sheep go after branding to prevent rubbing and smearing.
- Mix paint (shake/stir) well.
- In cold climates, set the can in a warm room or warm water bath for 5-10 minutes as the paint thickens when cool.
- Use thin paint brands, not thick. The thicker the brand, the more paint is applied that needs to be or can't be washed out later.
- During application, let the paint drip off the iron (into the can) to remove excess paint.
- Brand on head, top of shoulders or neck. (Avoid the middle of the back or side for branding. This places paint in the highest value portion of the fleece.)
- Put paint in a fire to warm or thin it
- Mix paints from different manufacturers
- Let paint freeze
- Dilute unless otherwise directed by the manufacturer (consult the label)
Precautions
Marking will last up to 2-4 months with variables (such as weather, wool etc).

Frank V from Iowa, “Future sheep capital of the world!”
Easy to apply, not sticky. Application was easily done in our chute. Excellent delivery time.
Peg M from Idaho
Only marking paint I ever use—works much better for me than “Sprayline”. Stays on long enough for me and is recommended for high dollar fleeces.
Patsy A from Ohio
Wish it came with an easier way to pour a small amount at a time.
Ana C from California
Very disappointed. Not for use on goats.
Henry B from Minnesota
Easy to use. Easy to see. Paint stays on much longer then marking spray. Makes breeding/lambing/culling much easier.
