Even without a cooler or shed, I think if you tried working the hair he has the same way we do, up and forward at a 45* angle, you would like the way it makes him looks. He has hair, well as much as we got on some of our steers with just fans and rinsing in the summer, to work. The black calves with the Velvet like hair always look better than the sun slicked ones, they have a more youthful, fresher look to them.
