[QUOTE="Little Cow, post: 1584518, member: 5507"] This is interesting. I've heard about minerals being the cause before. Hard to tell if the minerals help after you put them out, or if the calves just slicked up because they shed out. Similarly, has anyone noticed a different coat type depending on color? If your breed produces different colors, do the browns or tans tend to have curly hairs and the blacks have straighter hairs? It seems to be that way in Dexters. Duns have a scruffiness that is really just a curl to their coat hair. They are healthy, fat, and look the same going in the freezer. The Dexter red seems to be straight and slick, like the black. Weird. [/QUOTE]
