Agri Health Sheep & Cattle Spray Marker Aerosol
Description
The Agri Health Sheep & Cattle Spray Marker is a livestock marking aerosol used to identify sheep and cattle quickly on the farm, marking fleece or coat with a short burst of spray. It is made for farmers, shepherds, smallholders and stockpeople who need to record which animals have been dosed, treated, scanned, tupped or sorted.
It is best for fast, temporary identification during handling sessions - in the race, crush, pen or field - where ear tags alone are too slow to read and stock need to be told apart at a distance.
Key Features
- Clear livestock identification - mark treated, sold or separated animals so they stand out in the group.
- Spray application - one-handed use while the other hand stays on the gate or hurdle.
- Suits sheep and cattle - one product for the flock and the herd.
- Handling-friendly - mark from a short distance without close contact.
- Everyday farm tasks - dosing, worming records, foot trimming, tupping, lambing, calving, scanning and weighing.
- Yard practical - simple to keep in the handling shed, trailer or quad box.

FAQ
Can this spray marker be used on both sheep and cattle?
Yes. It is described as a sheep and cattle spray marker, so it can be used on the flock and the herd.
What is a livestock spray marker used for?
It is used for temporary identification: marking animals that have been dosed or treated, flagging ewes at tupping, separating batches for sale or weighing, and highlighting stock that need attention from the vet or foot trimmer.
How long does the mark last?
Marking duration varies with weather, coat condition, fleece length and how much product is applied. Treat it as a temporary mark and refresh it if a group is being held for a long period.
How should I apply it for the clearest mark?
Shake well, then spray from a short distance onto a clean, dry fleece or coat. Marks show most clearly on dry animals, so mark under cover where possible.
Is it safe around the animal's face?
Keep the spray away from the eyes, nose and mouth and apply to the body only. Always follow the instructions and warnings printed on the can.
How should the can be stored?
Store upright in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight, and keep it out of reach of children.
