Clipping bulls

I have 10 range bulls consigned to a sale next month.  I was going to clip heads and tails on them, any suggestions as to anything else I should clip on them?

sheaths and necks if you can. if you peel the necks now, in a month they should be good to go from the regrowth

When we clip bulls for a bull sale we clip heads, tails, sheaths, blend the belly into the sides, tops, tailheads, and briskets. We also trim the necks but don't shear them. I learned a long time ago sometimes less is better. Some of this old time cattleman won't look at a bull if he has had to much clipped.Shear the head and tail and the rest just knock the long hair off and try to make them look as natural as possible.
