[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1241173, member: 18809"] Well, since I walk through the cows twice daily, it is easy for me to tell if someone is in heat or the stripe is gone. The stripe is just a secondary heat detection tool, with my visual appraisal of behavior being first (riding, sniffing, baby Bulls hanging out with her... And others). I just find the marker easier to use; I just walk up behind her and place a stripe. And at $1.10 a stick, which will work on about 30 or so cows... It is pretty cheap. And no need to run her through the chute. I did get a free sample of 5 of those pink patches, and too me they were a pain so I went back to my stick. :nod: different methods for different people, which is a good thing. [/QUOTE]
