the best shampoo to use is eiter dish soap or go to http://www.sullivansupply.com/texas/searchresult.aspx?categoryid=29 and look at their cattle grooming supplies.they have a shampoo for almost everything.just use one of these shampoos a couple of days before the show because shampoo dries out their skin causing their skin to get flakey.i hope this helps you.

I got this from: http://www.longhornnetwork.com/groom.html
One of the fundamentals of grooming show cattle is washing. By washing your calf regularly, you are not only removing dirt which has been embedded within its hair coat and on its hide, but you also remove dead hair and skin. This will give your calf a brighter, cleaner appearance. You should wash the calf at least once a month until about 30 days before a show and then begin washing it on a weekly basis. Use a mild, cold water soap or you can use a livestock soap which is sold by most farm and ranch supply stores. Be sure that you rinse all soap out of the hair because any soap left on the animal will create dandruff and cause the hair to have a dull appearance.
Finally, rinse with a mild livestock dip solution mixed with water according to the instructions on the container. This will help to prevent any lice or fly problems.
I know when my son was doing cattle showing of Holsteins, we used a cleaner called "Basic H" by Shaklee. Also I remember just before going into the ring, we dusted all the white patterns with baby powder to make them a bit brighter and blacked the hooves with show polish, or a clear shoe polish. The basic H a lil more on the concentrated side, is good for keeping flies and gnats away as well.
I hope this helps a bit.

A great show day hair popper! Really adds volume to the hair.
Sun Rays Whitening Shampoo
A shampoo that whitens white hair and brightens the color of other hair coats.
