Cattle Fitting Tips
In order to get the desired look when clipping, the animals hair/coat must be clean, broke and manageable
For that crisp cut edge on the hair it is extremely important that your blades are SHARP!!
Knowing your animals faults and weaknesses is important prior to clipping.
Always start clipping on the off side first and show side last.
It is important that you know your animals body parts and how they function when clipping.
When shaping or sculpturing,it is better to clip a little off at a time and make more passes.
Clipping the hair can be fast, to be good at clipping, you must slow down and blend.
For show it is always better to clip your cattle more than once as opposed to trying to do it all in one job.
When clipping I like to rest the clipper cord around my neck giving the clipper more balance.
When finished, clean and remove hair clippings from blades to prevent rust and dulling. Hair contains moisture and dust particles. Please oil blades before you store the clipper.
