    I've used all the colours and they all stay the 60 days to lambing,
    Our scanner doesn't put any mark on the doubles, zero on the barren, and a dot for every lamb on the rest

    I would think it's the brand of marker rather the color that could be a problem, I find coyles sprays great and stay on til shearing, agriheath sprays are a disaster, it runs on them and after a day or two you wouldn't know what mark is on them
