How do you wash a cow?
YIKES...


My calf, Autumn, that is being delivered to the buyer tomorrow... laid down in some icky mud/manure and is all clumpy on her underside...

whats the best way to clean her up?

its in the 70's here today, so is it warm enough to spray her down with a hose?

If she has a halter on & is used to being tied AND you can tie her to something strong - go for it.

We've used both a hose or a bucket. My girl loves to be scratched everywhere, but was leary of the hose, the bucket was easier.

Warm water seems to make baths easier.
