Raddle Powder
Eliminates need for a harness.
Produces bright, long-lasting
marks—but it’s more mess than
a harness.
Mix 2 parts powder to 1 part
vegetable oil or 1.5 parts mineral
oil. Mixes easily. Container
reseals, so there’s no waste.
Rub paste onto the brisket (2
months’ growth on the brisket
helps hold the paste).
You will need to apply fresh
raddle every 2 to 5 days.

Applying raddle powder to a billy. It
helps to use gloves (see p. 91) for this.

CIDR Applicator
We weren’t satisfied with our harness marking
crayons. So we located crayons from several sources
and tested all of them under 3 temperature conditions:
frozen, room temp and hot (100°). Temperature-specific
crayons were tested at their respective ratings.
One crayon marked well in all temperatures and in all
colors. That’s the crayon we now offer.
The test?
We attached
crayons to a harness and
pulled it across a carpet.
A battery was placed on the
harness
(see at right)
to simulate
ram pressure.
Results?
Our new all-
temperature crayons:
• Made an even, strong mark under all temperatures.
• Didn’t smear (leave excess crayon). Excess crayon
reduces the probability of removing the mark in the
scouring process (and wastes wax).

Harness Crayons
Makes readable marks in all
temperatures! Eliminates need to
buy multiple crayons to match the
temperature. Not affected by large
temperature changes.
Plastic case (2.25"x 2.5"x 3.75") protects
crayons during transport. Fits all Premier harnesses.
The scourability of all harness crayons is disputed. The manufacturer
claims it meets standards for scourability. We are sending samples for
testing to a US firm. We’ll report the results online.
