Vinegar

[LJL]

I notice on the wash racks that some people rinse their cattle with a bucket of vinegar after washing.  What is the benefit of this and is it straight vinegar or is it diluted with water?

It's believed to help remove any soap you don't get rinsed out and lessen the likelihood of dry skin.

It really does get rid of dandruff and dry skin issues. Also helps keep the skin clean.

So how much vinegar to how much water?

We just pour a cup or two into a bucket of water & pour that on the calf..  I don't know that its a real scientific equation.

We have mixed the vinegar with hair and mane conditioner and water to pour on the calves.

I'm a big fan of Sullivan's Double Dip.  It might be cheaper to use Vinegar and Mane/Tail Condiotioner combo though.  I've never done the math.  It's a great product by Sullivan's though and I don't go through it all that fast myself even using it daily.

i like to use it in the wash rack with the mane-n-tail conditioner, and i mix it with the kleen sheen to spray on them after. The key is to keep the hair conditioned, but not oily. This will help keep the folical and hair healthy. of course daily washing or rinsing is a must. No work no hair, or good hair a least.
