[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 356496, member: 13"] The paint will last different lengths of time. If most everything is bred, it lasts longer. The vat in the halter has a ball in it that rolls the paint out as the bull slides his head across a cow. If he gets in the pasture and starts digging and putting his head in the dirt, he may empty the paint pretty quick. Pushing and shoving around the hay ring will use some. If nothing is in heat and he doesn't get stupid, it will last longer. Different bulls have reacted to them differently. The bull we have now will be replaced next year. He's not working as hard as he should be, so the paint lasts longer. That's not a good thing. Paint comes in different colors, too. We use yellow because we have Angus cows. They've been helpful to us, but you do need something that will mount the cow to put the halter on. We use a dehorned longhorn bull that's had a vasctomey. Our first gomer bull was a Jersey, but he got mean pretty quick. We went with longhorns because they don't get as big as some of the beef breeds and we've had pretty good luck with dispsition on them. [/QUOTE]
