Good afternoon everyone. We have a Brangus steer, 1 yr old, 1010 lbs, came from good reputable breeder with good genetics.  Very sure footed, big boned, good hair, good top and solid front, very powerful.  BUT, very narrow hipped for his size. Looks almost perfect till you look at him from...

Thanks chambero.  I understand.  Just getting frustrating every time we go to one of these jackpots and end up getting pushed out by these fluffy exotics.  Kind of discouraging for the whole American breed.

Thanks.  We've tried the hair linament and used Mane & Tail conditioner.  Tried rinsing, conditioning, rinsing, rice root brushing, plastic bristle brushing, and blowing with and without heat.  Hair on legs, especially above hooves, just wont budge.  It's long but very very coarse and thick and...

Here's a pick of him.  Criticism welcome. 

Frostback - You are correct, very hard and very, very course hair.  Each strand is very thick. I'll try that rotobrush though.

Good morning all.  Any help for us here would be appreciated.  We have a very structurally sound black Brangus calf that's eating like an elephant.  Great body, great structure, great disposition, great eater, jumps in and out of the trailer, just a great show calf.  Hair............that's...
