What would be best to use for cleaning up my two rams that I am taking to a sale, to get them looking their best!

Thanks

what sort of cleaning needs to be done? as the rams at market here are just sold looking like whatever.

Its for the rare breeds show and sale @ Thainstone. I just need to get some dirt of their backends and some mud off, thats all.

Thanks for your reply

just wash with washing up liquid some people used my dad used to show shetlands but the rule was to make them look as they came out the field (with out the scraggy back ends) so when they get put in a pen bedded down with straw its picking all the little bits out wat does my head in but use hoof oil on the horns and they come up spot on .
