clip the cattle most years, id take a strip down their back and clip their tails same for the cows, to be honest im not sure if there is a major performance benifit to doing it but it leaves them cleaner and less chance of getting a belt of their tail (cows anyway)

better spending your time sorting out ventilation than wasting time clipping

Some people rather see cattle clipped down their backs in the mart

I clip tails only as a lot of dung gathers at end of tail. Has an issue a few years ago this went down between slats and had a few broken tails lost a 400kg store fresian bullock, had 2 heavier cattle with same thing but got them killed in time one was a close thing.
