I am not sure where you are located but if it is warmer temperature wise caution on using any oils. Revive is great in the winter months but should be sued sparrowingly in the summer or warmer months. Because its an Oil it will hold some heat in. Use Kleen sheen and continue to rinse daily. Keep air circulating at all times. If you have a way to keep the light levels down in the area the calves are in make sure you do so. In the evening it is important to get that last rinse til cool in before you turn out in the night air. There are tons of supplements you can use to help with hair growth. We have always had luck with show bloom or calf manna. Brushing daily with rice root will keep the hair folicle stimulated and natural oils. I know lots of folks who don't have a cooler and they grow hair with fans, brushing and rinsing all the time.
