How it Works

The Tailpainter allows you to tail paint during milking adding no extra time. Tail paint regularly for better heat detection results. It has three configurations so if you prefer you can do your tail painting in the crush or while feeding.

  • - Takes more labour and effort
  • - Increased risk of injury and falls
  • - Due to bull usage, there is a risk of bull infertility and injuries

What other farmers think

I used Tailpainter in 2019. I know the value of tailpainting. Keeping the paint touched up is the secret. The Tailpainter has been of immense value.

John Murphy, Ireland

Extremely successful piece of equipment, very clean & efficient. No use of cattle crush required and is extremely safe. I would apply paint 2 to 3 times per week rather than once.

Eoin O’Sullivan, Ireland

I think it is piece of equipment that should be available in every milking parlour.
