Wrist Band Marker Makes Animal Treatment Easier

Wrist Band Marker Makes Animal Treatment Easier HOG EQUIPMENT & IDEAS Hog Equipment & Ideas (351) 21-4-18 You can mark animals at the same time you treat them with this new "wear-and-wipe" ID marking system. The new wrist band marker was introduced at the recent World Pork Expo in Indianapolis, Ind. Invented by a New Zealand sheep farmer, it consists of an adjustable band fitted with a locking collar to hold marking chalk. To use, you simply strap the band around your wrist or palm and mark animals with a "wipe" of the wrist while you're still holding them. Starter kit consisting of wrist band and six different color chalks sells for $19.95. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Genesis Instruments Inc., P.O.
