We love introducing new products at JRG and we are especially excited to announce the new Pig Spot swine marker from LA-CO. This is the same company that's been producing the perennial favorite All-Weather Paintstiks for decades and it's great to see a new innovative product from a company with a solid foundation. Some JRG staffers got a chance to try the Pig Spot marker out first-hand at World Pork Expo in June and we started receiving requests for the product shortly after the event. We are happy to say we now have the Pig Spots in stock and ready to ship! Wondering if this product is right for your operation? Here's a quick rundown:

• The Pig Spot marker is ideal for marking pigs at vaccination. Most users will be able to hold an injector and the marker in one hand. LA-CO and the University of IL put together a short video on using the marker where you can see the one-handed "shoot and mark" technique, which we've posted below.
• Each 1 oz. bottle does between 1,000 to 2,000 marks.
• Reduces cross-contamination between litters.
• Lasts 24 hours or more.
• Fast-drying and easy to see dye.
• Made in the USA.
