Siromark Livestock Marking Fluid for Sheep & Cattle
Description
Siromark Marking Fluid - Clear Livestock Identification on Farm
Siromark Marking Fluid is a livestock marking product used to place a visible, temporary identification mark on animals such as sheep, cattle and goats. It is made in New Zealand and is best for farmers, shepherds, smallholders and stock handlers who need to keep track of which animals have been drenched, treated, scanned, drafted or drawn for sale.
Marking stock as you work through the race or pen removes guesswork later in the day. Instead of relying on memory, you can see at a glance which animals have already been handled, which keeps mobs moving and reduces stress on both stock and staff.

FAQ
What animals can Siromark Marking Fluid be used on?
It is intended for livestock identification and is commonly used on sheep, cattle and goats. Always check the manufacturer's label for the species and situations listed.
How long does the mark last?
Marking fluid is designed as a temporary identification mark. How long it remains visible depends on coat type, weather, stocking conditions and how much of the coat is shed or grown out, so refer to the label for guidance.
Will it come out of the fleece?
Scourability depends on the specific product and the wool it is applied to. Check the label guidance on scourability and timing before marking any animal destined for wool production.
Is it suitable for a small flock or smallholding?
Yes. It is just as useful for a handful of ewes as it is for a commercial mob, and helps keep accurate handling records between yard days.
How should it be stored?
Keep the container closed and upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and out of reach of children and animals.
Where is Siromark Marking Fluid made?
It is made in New Zealand.
