Description
Rurtec Matingmark No Mate Harness Attachment
The Rurtec Matingmark No Mate Harness Attachment provides a simple, temporary alternative to vasectomising a ram. Designed exclusively for use with the Rurtec Matingmark Harness, this practical attachment physically prevents successful mating while still allowing the ram to detect and mount ewes.
When paired with a Matingmark Harness and breeding crayon, the No Mate Attachment enables you to identify ewes that are cycling or in season. Once teasering is complete, simply remove the attachment to allow the ram to mate naturally, making flock breeding management more flexible and cost-effective.
Manufactured for comfort and durability, the harness features wide, highly adjustable straps that provide a secure fit and are designed to withstand years of regular farm use.
