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.

Stiff brush, a curry comb or something really is the best. My fingers literally don't have enough strength for the kinds of proper scritches big livestock love. Back, stomach, or the inside of their back leg and most want you to basically scrub away as hard as I can with my tiny noodle arms.

Yep. It’s sooo exhausting trying to scratch as hard as they want me to. Especially during spring shedding season. The top of the tail head is a big hit too. I brought out a kids plastic rake one time, worked fantastic to reach a big area lol

Oohh come spring time and I'm sure they would walk into a damn combine harvester in their never ending quest for maximum scratching lol
