looks like a good job for doing tails, i don't have one but i'd be interested in hearing if anyone else has one and if it is any good.

thanks for the info there's a liveryman in local co op for 230 euro, guy there says people with horses buy them , is there a difference between cattle and horse hair ? or would you use different blades ?

I got a cordless hair clippers from tesco like what you see in the hairdressers for €17. Its pretty good for freezebrands as it cuts so close to the skin but not up to doing tails. had a heinger cordless which are good but water got into it

Yep, use one of them the whole time. Have two batteries, can use one and charge the other for non stop clipping. Then use an ordinary hair clippers for the detail on the legs.

Only problem is the clipper really freaks out one of the young bulls, most of the rest of them will stand for it no bother.
