Brown Magic? Never heard of it. What's it supposed to do?

I've never heard of it either, must be a northern thing.

Not sure but I think it is colored adhesive.

Ah. Thanks. In that case Sullivan's Auburn paint might work for you. Here's a link to the website.

It's typically for red calves but it says it can produce a wide range of colors depending on the number of coats applied. I would try it a few weeks in advance and see how it turns out.

P.S. I hope this isn't advertising...

Might just try a regular adhesive from a show supply.

Doesn't work that way Cowboy, not on a dairy animal. They build the toplines to make them straight as possible. Have to have colored adhesive to do that cause last I knew you wern't allowed to add hair or twine.

I figured you could just use the adhesive to build the topline and then cover it with color.

yeah i normally use the auburn and to build my legs and then finish them off with black finisher but if you have a brown cow it's better then having to keep applying coats of auburn

 

[Cowboy 2.0]

You're supposed to build with Ultra White, because it is the thickest paint, then cover up with black finisher.

 

[showkid1200]

didn't know that we just always used auburn whenever we built the legs i'll have to give that a try thanks C2.0

 

[glover36]

yeah she thats the probelm it makes the jersey and brownswiss and sometimes the milking shorthorns looks like they have a whole different coloured topline

 

[WarriorPatriot]

He is showing them, that's why he wants to use it...to my understanding.

Glover, what made them look a different color? The auburn? Or the brown?

Only if your calf has black legs

 

[Cowboy 2.0]

Righto, not for colored calves.
