raddle Explanation: RADDLE----paint or crayon applied to a ram's chest to mark females he mates. http://www.danekeclublambs.com/Glossary.html Raddle – coloured pigment used to mark sheep for various reasons, such as to show ownership, or to show which lambs belong to which ewe. May be strapped to the chest of a ram, to mark the backs of ewes he mates (different rams may be given different colours). Also a verb ("that ewe's been raddled"). Also "ruddy". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_sheep_husbandry |

ram crayon Explanation: Specifically for use in ram harnesses during service. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2009-02-02 12:10:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- See this page specifically. The distinction made by this company at least is that ram crayon is a waxy crayon for use in a harness, while raddle is a hand-held chalk for general purposes: http://www.donaghys.com/stock-management.0.html?&no_cache=1&...[]=ram&sword_list[]=crayon -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2009-02-02 13:51:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Have now consulted my other half (a vet): he would use the term 'raddle' for the harness itself rather than the chalk or crayon.
