The designer of the Vetmarker® is a sheep and beef farmer who is always focused on making jobs around the farm quicker and easier, for the benefit of both staff and stock.
Roller marking cradles have been in use in New Zealand for over 20 years. However, the lambs had to be physically pulled out of the cradle after they had been docked. As a result an attachment was designed, that would be effective and efficient, releasing the lamb so it would land on its feet. The Vetmarker® was further adapted to include a spray unit for farmers that require their lambs to be sprayed for flystrike. This reduced a labour unit.
