Sprayline
The easiest and most accurate sheep spray marker that we have ever used or tested.
Shipping
Common Uses
- Matching lambs and mothers.
- Identifying fat, thin, diseased or cull animals in pens and chutes.
Specs
Q: Why is this now called Sprayline instead of SuperSprayline?
A: It's the identical product in the identical cans from the identical manufacturer. However the SuperSprayline label includes the name of a British supplier (Britain is the biggest market in the world for sheep spray markers)—and their company name is the same as an agribusiness in the USA that we like and respect. So we switched to cans labeled for the New Zealand market.
Benefits
How many numbers will a can produce? In our tests, a red 400 ml can of Sprayline produced approximately 450 numbers (2" to 3" in height) on a porous surface (burlap).
Tips
- Smaller numbers are more readable for a longer time.
- Sprayline will last longer if used with a full fleece. Animals with that are haired rather than wooled will "wear" Sprayline for a shorter period of time.
Precautions
Accepted as scourable in the UK but not in the USA. (No, we cannot account for this.)

Of all the marking products out there, this lasts the longest and has bright colors that are easy to see. I mark kids to match their mama for easy matching when I put them out in the main group. Only color needing improvement is green.
Melvin & Sharon C from Iowa
We marked ewes to be bred and it worked good smearing when it needed to be to see which ones were getting bred.
Carmen S from Mexico
The best marker for my sheep.
Desert W from Colorado
Works well but rarely lasts more than a week on our black sheep. I use the yellow and the orange but neither really lasts. Wish we could get the white again.
Travis from Nebraska
I can't speak for sheep but it does not work on goats. The lettering is worn off within 24 hours to the point you can't read it. Within a week it is completely gone. No rain or washing off. It simply does not hold up on goats.
