[QUOTE="Bleenie, post: 1026223, member: 14881"] A few times a year I get auction calves to raise & resell, I HATE the glue spots on them because they annoy me and I feel like it makes a bad impression on potential buyers as well. My calves are healthy before I even consider selling them and I usually do let the buyer know they originally came from the auction house... just like them to consider the calf itself before turning their nose up because of a glue spot! I have had Great success with using Baby Oil & a 'flea/lice' comb. it takes a few minutes but it does not pull the hair, leaves the calfs coat looking nice and shiney and the oil eventually is absorbed or washed off. [b]If you don't care about a bald spot[/b], i found out while treating a hernia that VetWrap(the stretchy bandage that sticks to itself) sticks hard to the old glue and causes the hair to lift/break from the skin. The calf will be left with a small, irritated spot for a little bit but the 'bald spot' is still fuzzy and it shouldn't take long for the calf to grow it's hair back. Hope this helps! :wave: [/QUOTE]
