[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 1026627, member: 1974"] You don't HAVE to, but they usually look unkempt with long hair. What we sometimes do with the Horned Herefords is clip the hair short on their cheeks, under their chin & jaw, the dewlap and down through the brisket. The top of their necks beginning behind the poll is clipped short back to the point of their shoulder, tapering smoothly into the hair on the neck. The hair on the neck varies, long enough to blend smoothly into the shoulder, short enough to make it thick, assuming they have that much hair. Back to the head -- on the face, use a long guard on the clipper and clip in the direction the hair lies, just enough to neaten it up. When you clip the cheeks short take it short all the way to the nose but leave a bit of the longer hair on top of the nose. Leave the poll long but clip shorter over where the horn area is, blending down into the shorter cheek area. [/QUOTE]
