    My steers hair is falling out. (kind of), Dirty, and Leading :/

    I second the shedding comb from weavers. They cost around 30 bucks i think but they work awesome. Buy a gallon can of wd-40, put it in a spray bottle and put on the manure balls. Let the wd-40 soak for a couple hours and when you wash the balls  come out much easier.
