=== Tail Paint ===
* Applied to the base of the tail and sacrum.
* Removed by rubbing when the cow stands to be ridden.
* Cheap and effective
=== KaMaR Heat Mount Detectors ===
* Pressure sensitive device with a built-in timing mechanism designed to be activated by standing heat behavior.
* Glued onto the sacrum
* Pressure from the brisket of a mounting animal requires approximately 3 seconds to turn the detector from white to red.
** This timing mechanism helps distinguish between true standing heat versus false mounting activity.
