Full details
The Agrimark Branding Fluid (Orange, 5L) is an ideal tool for livestock managers and farmers who require a reliable, economical solution for temporary sheep identification.

When used according to the provided instructions, the fluid is safe for standard agricultural branding applications.
What is the best way to store the 5L container?
Store in a cool, dry environment, ensuring the cap is sealed tightly to prevent the fluid from thickening.

Can I apply it if the sheep were recently in the rain?

Troubleshooting
Markings are fading too quickly
Ensure the branding iron is being applied firmly to the fleece and that the wool is free of excessive dirt or debris that might prevent absorption.
Marking appears blotchy
Ensure the branding iron is not overloaded with fluid; tap off excess liquid before making contact with the fleece.
Difficulty in scouring the marks
Verify that you are following the recommended dilution or application thickness; excessive application can exceed the scourability limits of the dye.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal results, always shake the 5L container thoroughly before use to ensure the pigment is evenly suspended. For application, use a clean branding iron, ensuring that excess fluid is tapped off to prevent blotting. For care and maintenance of the product, store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep the lid tightly sealed to prevent evaporation or contamination. When branding, ensure the iron is applied firmly but briefly to achieve a clear, professional mark without oversaturating the fleece.
