same strong snap buckles used in our
nylon breeding harnesses.
Crayons sold separately at right.

Test: Day 1
Why so many colors? We’re testing
how long each marking crayon color
lasts on our wool ewes. We hand-
applied each color in this instance.
Ewes were kept outside on grass
in July. For results see days 7, 14 and
24 (at right) . 24 days is one breeding
cycle plus a week.
Harnesses become looser as rams
lose weight, so most users check
the rams every 7 to 10 days to adjust
harnesses as needed, also checking
which ewes have been bred.
We change colors at this time and
mark the top of each ewe’s neck with
SI-RO-MARK (see p. 44) for a record
of when each ewe was marked.

Marking Crayons
For use with either
the Cross Your Heart
or Nylon breeding
harness (at left).
Why do we offer 3
types? Crayons wear
quickly when warm.
Hot/Mild crayons have
wax that handles heat.
Plastic case 2.25" x
2.5" x 3.75" protects
crayons during
transport. (Remove
plastic top before
inserting into harness!)
The mark’s scourability
is disputed. The Kiwi
manufacturer says it is.
However, ASI’s tests indicate
that this is not always true.
