From what ive been told aluminum will rub off on cattle and stain their hair. I am wondering how bad it is and if it just washes off or if it is hard to get out and if there is anything you can do to make the aluminum not stain them? thanks for any help

I've seen people with aluminum grooming chutes wrap the head catching part with vet wrap to keep the aluminum from rubbing off on their cattle.

Powder coat the aluminum and it wont rub off. Sullivans has started doing this with the side rails and head gates of their aluminum grooming chutes

if they just barely touch it will it rub off or does it take some force?
