Hello Mary, I use spray paint and spray my initials on my sheep and goats before I send them to the market. It works well for me but I do not know how long the paint last on the animals since I spray them the day or day before they go to the market.

Someone gave me a set of used paint brands, and told me you can paint brand your lambs with about any kind of paint (or you can buy marking paint from Premier), and it's a nice alternative to putting lamb tags on them. I haven't tried it yet. Mary Swindell At 12:01 PM 11/11/2003 -0700, you wrote: >Today's Topics: > > 1. Re: Ear tags for lambs (Carol J. Elkins) > 2. Re: re: Hello ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) > 3.
