Uses: To mark the cow for standing heat. Not recommended for livestock identification as the purpose of the paint is to be rubbed off.

Application: Shake can well before use and for 1 to 2 minutes after the agitator ball is heard. Apply paint 8" to 10" to make a 2" tail mark. Start the mark at the tail head and move down the tail 6". It is important to hit all of the contact points when a cow is mounted. Keep can in motion during use to prevent heavy build-up, which can make interpreting the mark difficult. Agitate can periodically during application. For best results, use at temperatures between 60° F and 80° F
