Agri Health Super Blue Ram Marking Harness for Sheep
Description
Agri Health Super Blue Ram Harness
The Agri Health Super Blue Ram Harness is an adjustable nylon marking harness that holds a crayon block on a ram (tup) so you can see at a glance which ewes have been served. It is best for shepherds, smallholders and commercial flock keepers who need a durable, easily adjusted harness that stays comfortable through a full tupping season.
Strong 1.75 inch wide nylon straps and snap buckles make fitting quick, while ample padding behind the front leg reduces chafing. The bright blue straps stay easy to locate even on rams in deep wool.

How to Use
- Restrain the ram calmly in a pen or race before fitting.
- Place the harness over the shoulders so the crayon holder sits centrally on the chest.
- Fasten the snap buckles and adjust the straps so the harness is snug but not tight, with the padding sitting behind the front leg.
- Fit the crayon block into the holder and check it will make contact with the ewe.
- Check the fit every few days and re-adjust as the ram's condition changes, changing crayon colour at each cycle to track repeats.
- Remove, clean and dry the harness at the end of the season before storage.
FAQ
What is a ram harness used for?
It holds a marking crayon on the ram's chest so that every ewe he serves is marked, letting you record mating dates and predict lambing.
How wide are the straps?
The nylon straps are 1.75 inches wide and fully adjustable, with snap buckles for quick fitting.
Will it rub the ram?
The harness includes ample padding to reduce chafing behind the front leg. Check and re-adjust the fit regularly, as a harness left too tight or too loose is the usual cause of rubbing.
Does it fit all ram sizes?
The straps adjust across a broad range, so the harness suits most mature rams. Fit it snugly enough to keep the crayon in contact with the ewe without restricting shoulder movement.
Are crayons included?
No, marking crayon blocks are supplied separately.
How do I clean and store it?
Brush off mud and wool grease, rinse the straps if needed, dry fully and store somewhere dry. Inspect the webbing and buckles before each season.
