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.

[LOANENDER]

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 .

Thanks for your help! Have finished most of the cleaning but will finish off in the morning.

which show? and do you want to get rid or have you put a reserve on for  mega mony so noone buys him we done a few small show and sale's and put a reserve on for £5k one got near but never sold thankfully

[LOANENDER]

Yes we sold them both at the Thainstone rare breeds sale and show. The ram lamb got a first place  so that was good, and the other one didn't get placed but was still sold.
