Best/Easiest Way???

[johndeereboy]

What is the best or easiest way to clean off madded mud clumps, off of a steer or heifer's hair. Is it best to just cut it off, or is their another way?

Really wet the clumps down then scrub and/or brush them out. If that doesn't work, just chop them off. How easy they are to remove depends on where they are.

You could also try some oil on there too.

What kind of oil would you suggest?

15-40 :roll:

or you could try some mineral oil

Soak and scrub. Repeat until clean.

Try WD-40 or Fluid Film, they are both penetrating oils that will not irritate the animals skin, it may take a couple tries to work out all of the mud balls.

rinse, lather, repeat, rinse, lather, repeat,rinse, lather, repeat,rinse, lather, repeat,rinse, lather, repeat,rinse, lather, repeat,rinse, lather, repeat,rinse, lather, repeat,rinse, lather, repeat, rinse until all clean

If you use an oil then oil, rinse, lather, rinse

Daily rinsing will help with the problem. If you seek hair growth, matted hair will inhibit it.

Sugar soap.

Wet the dags, lather with sugar soap, leave for 10 minutes, scrub, rinse. Repeat until clean. Follow with skin/coat conditioner as sugar soap will dry out the skin.
