Key Features	Designed for fast temporary identification of sheep and other farm animals. High-visibility colors help operators quickly distinguish treatment groups, breeding groups and sorted animals. Twist-up plastic holder keeps the marking material protected and allows controlled extension during use. Solid crayon format is easy to carry in a pocket, tool bag or livestock handling kit. Suitable for routine use in sheep yards, races, pens and pasture management systems. Available in multiple colors for color-coded flock management programs. No electrical power, spray equipment or additional applicator is required. Bulk packaging and customer-specific color combinations are available according to project requirements.
Structural Components	Solid Marking Core: Provides visible color for temporary animal identification. Plastic Holder: Protects the marking compound and improves handling during farm use. Twist-Up Base: Advances additional marking material as the exposed section is consumed. Protective Cap: Helps keep the crayon clean during transport and storage. Color-Coded Housing or Cap: Allows quick selection of the required marking color.
Working Principle	Remove the protective cap and twist the base until a suitable amount of marking material is exposed. Apply the crayon directly to the selected area of the animal using moderate pressure to create a clearly visible mark. Different colors can be assigned to different management groups, such as animals requiring inspection, recently treated sheep, breeding groups or animals selected for sorting. When the exposed marking material becomes short, the operator simply twists the base to advance more crayon.
