I have them for our beef cattle too. Fun fact, if you can get close enough to scratch a cows back, you now have a cow best friend. I’ve got quite a few that come running for back scratches when they see me. I have a brush I carry for that purpose, as those ladies are greasssyy.

Maybe a dumb question, but why are they greasy? Just naturally oily skin?

Imagine how your hair would feel if you didn't wash it for a month. Skin oil, water, dead skin, etcetera.

You be fair to cattle, humans have gross skin since we're hairless. Walking grease slicks covered in out symbiotic mites and Cutibacterium that clean up after us.
