My heifer which I will be showing in a few weeks has lost all her tail hair. It looks really strage almost like she's bald. She hasn't lost hair anywhere else and it's not ringworm nor lice. Does anyone know what it is and how to fix it? It makes me kind of upset because it looks so ugly!

I would say it is tail mites. We treat it by soaking the tail in fly pour on or something of the sort, or you can spray in liberally with dectomax but the hair may not grow back as quickly. If you are going to show sometime soon you can use baling twine and make a tail but it may take some practice
