Description
Cross Your Heart Breeding Harness
Made from durable leather and nylon straps. Designed to fit and stay on smaller, more pointed briskets like those found on ram lambs, goat bucks and adult rams of smaller breeds.
Benefits
Place harness with crayon on ram/billy to verify when or if ewe/doe was attempted to be bred.
- Adjustable nylon straps
- Made from durable leather riveted to nylon straps and snap buckles
- Leather portion: 15"L x 7"W at widest point
- Marking Crayon holder: 4"L x 2 1/4"W (at front end) and 2-1/2"W (at back end) x 1/2" deep
Precautions
Adjustments and/or tightening may be needed after the first few days the harness if put on. The best practice is to put the harness on a few days before putting the ram in with the ewes. This allows time for the harness to settle in, and for adjustments. Improper fit may lead to chaffing.
Why mark at breeding?
A vivid mark from crayons is hard to miss. Key shepherding decisions are made based on knowing what happens during breeding season.
It allows shepherds to know:
- Which ewes/does have been bred
- Birthing date
- Newborns sire
- Identify poor performing or inactive males
- Crayons sold separately
Tips: Harness Use
- Adjust frequently. Rams lose weight during breeding season.
- If the forelegs begin to chafe, adjust harness or add padding.
- The crayon fits below the brisket, between the forelegs. Not below the neck or above the chest.
