Simple way to make marking tailheads easier

We are pulling ciders tonight on a group of recips and we like to mark the tail heads to help aid in heat detection.We have used a spray on paint before but like the results we get with the stick better. If you have ever used the paint stick marker you know how bad it sucks to use especially when its warm and humid out. The cardboard holder always seems to fall apart and the stick falls in the alleyway, the cow steps on it and ruins it. Plus it is very messy to deal with when doing large groups. So we took a 60cc syringe cut the end out, being careful to leave a little "lip" on the end to help hold the stick in the barrel. The stick fits in the syringe pretty snug. We can then take the plunger to push the stick out as needed to mark the cow without getting it all over our hands and having the cardboard fail.
