Ewe Marking Harness Crayons

I recently purchased this harness to use on a large buck goat. When I put the harness on the buck, I had to pull all the slack out of the straps just to get a close fit. However within a few days thw straps had slipped so that the crayon was swinging loose below his brisket. I do not recommend this item for goats. It might work well for rams.

Last year I did not use a marker at all, It turns out one of my does was not bred, thinking that she was.This year I used it, it works great, It gave me a more accurate date to predict when my does are in heat, and when they are going to deliver. Takes the guess work out of it. It lasts for a long time, I only used it for a month with about 5 does. Still have some left over. however, I change colors each month.

Can't go wrong with blue crayon on a white goat. I am happy to finally have made this purchase. No more guessing on due dates!

I bought the ewe marking crayons in the fall to use in the ram harness for our flock of dorset sheep. We changed the crayon color in 18 days to detect those ewes that did not come in heat or conceive on the first round. The crayons marked nicely on the ewes in our cold climate here in VT and the harness was an exceptionally easy to use product as well. I recommend both products highly!
