Deluxe Breeding Harness for Sheep & Goats by Rurtec, Made in NZ - Extra Large Size (Crayon Sold Separately)

I have used two other styles of marking harnesses for our bucks. They were always too big, even when adjusted. They needed a lot of zip ties to keep them in place and still needed adjusting (not easy to do on a buck in rut). Ordered the Rurec MatingMark to try to make life easier for us during the upcoming breeding season. I ordered both XL and Standard for two Boer goat bucks because there was no information about sizing, either on Amazon or Rurtec. To date, we have used the XL on the 200+ lb. two year old Boer. This size would work for a 300+ lb. buck as well. I wonder if the Standard size would have worked. Anyway, after figuring out the buckles and adjusting them, the fit was great, and because of the adjustments and buckles, there are no extra pieces dangling, so that's a plus. It's now been on him 2+ weeks, and has only needed minor adjustments once. It does not roll, chafe, or loosen. The crayon changing was wonderful. Instead of having to either remove the entire harness and fit the crayon before putting it back on the buck OR trying to do it on him, just a simple click and the old one is off and the new one is on. We are extremely satisfied with this purchase. I'll update this when I use the Standard size on the yearling buck in a few weeks.

Great And product. If it both my Nubian, Billy and my Alpine Boer cross Billy. Was easy to put on.

I like the harness and it seemed to be popular online. Crayons snapped in and were securely held. It was somewhat difficult to get a good fit on my Katahdin hair ram (about 250lbs). The straps that go behind the front shoulders started to wear sensitive spots in his “armpit” area after he had it on for a month or so, so I took it off to avoid a potential open wound.

Great product! Holds up and lasts. Very pleased with color markings. Highly recommended

Fine, Was as promised

Easy transaction great communication and a awesome price would def buy again ThanksThe rams harness is the best ive owned We have used for a few seasons on different rams with no problems the other brands ive had have broken at the clips but the Rurtec Harness has stayed in great condition Easily adjustable to fit our small Babydoll rams and locks the crayon in place with out the pesky use of other brand Harnesses that use a coddle pin This harness uses a lock in crayon which is easy to replace and the crayons come in a range of colours

The harness stretched and had to be tightened repeatedly - discontinued use when the ends started to fray and harness was so loose that it was a danger to the billy goat.

This harness is working great and does not seem to rub the skin on my ram. It’s holding up well during breeding season and the crayons are easy to attach and remove. I highly recommend this product.
