[QUOTE="Cheyenne, post: 226308, member: 1519"] Hi all, We have a one month old bottle calf that is my son's 4-H project. I was wondering what he should use to wash this little guy. I have some baby shampoo, but I am afraid it will strip too much oil out even though it is supposed to be gentle. Should he wash him and then use a conditioner? He obviously won't be washing him everyday, but he will atleast be rinsing him once a week or so, so he gets used to being washed and he will be brushed everyday. Also in the bottle calf class the conformation of the calf is not judged. The child is judged based on their knowledge of the calf, health and cleanliness of the calf and also the interaction between the child and calf. My son's calf is 1/4 Hereford and 3/4 Angus (all black, not a baldie) and will most likely be shown against holstein calves. My other questions would be as this calf won't be clipped, there is no need to, should I have my son brush him to train the hair to lay down or should we blow him out and fluff him up? Thanks for your help. [/QUOTE]
