[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1242657, member: 20580"] Hereford hair usually is really easy to work with if you do things right. We'd clip the dead hair off right around now then when it started to get warmer rinse them down at sunset. Usually would have all kinds of hair to work with and when it comes to fitting cattle the more hair you can work with the better. The crossbreds we had the black calves always were hard to grow hair because the summer heat would make them too hot. Unless you put them under fans during the day it was hard to keep a thick coat of hair on the Angus influenced calves while our Herefords could take some heat and only need to be under the fans in the mid afternoon during the peak high temps.
