If they don't have the genetics to grow hair, cooler or not you aren't going to grow hair.  If they have the genetics, wear out a brush and keep them as cool and dark as possible.

Rinse, brush, blow. repeat. repeat again.  Also use a skin and hair conditioner.  Get the calves in before the sun comes up, and don't turn em out until it's dark. Keep them in a dark, cool, dry place.  Genetics also play a big factor.  If they're meant to have hair, they will with some work. If they're not, then you probably won't get that much hair.  Good luck.

No problem.  What is your calf out of, and how much hair do you have on it now?

Well good luck, some Angus have a bunch of hair, like Northern Improvement and Lut, but some have next to none.  Oh, I almost forgot  (welcome)

there is an article on dealing w/ summer hair. I don't have a cool room either & it usually works for me.
