    well lads,

    was wondering what is the proper procedure for tailpainting cows...

    should it be done once a week, once a month...?

    or should it be done before insemination and again after insemination incase of a repeat....

    thanks....

    Ideally start a month before start of breeding, and just keep it topped up until shes pasted or scanned incalf. Some change colours after serving, I don't, I have a chart up so can see whats going on there.

    I just use emulsion paint and paint a stripe 10' x 3 along tailhead area.

    jeff has it exactly. plan is to keep it on them constantly.
    Used emulsion too for a few years but this year went for FIL tailpaint and find it brilliant but its more expensive, think about 13 euro/bottle which will do 50 cows
