go to wal mart and buy a can of shaving cream. rub it in the hair and and brush the hair upwards. after that take your blower and blow it in. works great for training the hair, thickening it up, and making it grow. i have no clue how it works but an old friend of mine Ed Duncan taught me it and it works wonders.

If you have a calf with really stiff hair the only way to begin to "break" it is to work it. We used a product made by Olive Oil. It is a hair pudding. It is meant as a relaxer for ethnic hair. Use it with a roto brush. It helps train the hair and condition at the same time.

My favorite products are good old fashioned elbow grease and effort.  Water and a rice root brush are really all you need to train hair, I dont think a blower is even all that important for training because you can always brush them dry, it may take longer, but that is even more working and stimulation to the hair.  You will find that there are a lot of products on the market from show supply companies, as well as a lot of other human products or concoctions that many of us have found that work.  Different people have found different ones that they prefer, and it really comes down to just that, preference.  You will find a product or concoction of your own that works for you in your budget.  I will say that down here it is hot this time of year, and I find it counterproductive to use much product other than a light conditioner such as Kleen Shean.  Other oily products tend to be to heavy and trap body heat which tends to make them want to shuck hair.  But again you will find what works best for you on your budget.  But the main reason I said my favorite products are elbow grease and effort is that there are several products out there that will do basically the same thing for conditioning and softening hair if used properly, but it doesnt matter what magic concoction you spray on them you wont get anywhere without the work.
