I've never tried it myself, but how about cow chalk? Or sheep chalk, etc. Look at <a href="http://www.livestockmarkers.com/">http://www.livestockmarkers.com/</a> and let me know if it works. Comes in a variety of colors and applications. It's probably more similar to crayon than chalk. Maybe the "Livestock paint crayon"?<br>

There has to be something that lasts longer and is easier to apply.</font>
