Raddle marking sticks are ideal for short term marking of cattle , sheep and pigs. The marking is durable for approx 4 weeks on cattle and sheep and approx. 1-2 weeks on pigs. The marking sticks are heat and cold resistant and highly colour-intensive. The marking sticks provide an alternative to sprays with the marking visible for about the same length of time. The raddle marking sticks are handy and fit easily into trouser pockets.
