Been using Tasco brand Kelp for several years on the show calves and with lots of daily management have been able to keep hair on the ones who tend to be good haired. A lot of it is plain genetics we've had herefords and angus calves that barely have any hair in the dead of winter.  Are you sure they don't have lice or something similar (are they licking), its that time of year in our neck of the woods. You need to be on a good worming schedule.

Not to steal your post, but what is Tasco? I hear people talking about i all the time. Where can I get it and what does it do?

Just feed Purina it has it in it already.  Welcome to spring in Texas, every year ever since i can remember i will freak out about losing hair end of February through March.

What you need to do is make sure you have your misters running and black out that stall with passive air shade material and get another fan.
I would keep her clipped down real tight to  and keep her temp down rinse 3x a day with lots of rice root brush.

But das just me getting ready for Houston.
