[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 629771, member: 3162"] That can work for some and so can plain old bath powder. The best thing I have found is to milk about a pint out of the cow, put it in a bucket, get a sponge, and sponge the cow's milk completely over the calves body. Sometimes the calf hair will tend to bead up the milk so you have to sponge it in. For my current nurse cow, once she has fed four calves for a week, I can turn them out to pasture and they do just fine. [/QUOTE]
