I gave a couple Texels a bath last week and used a detangler on them. It seemed to work well on the bottom of their rear sweeps. The shampoo cleaned off the sticky urine that seems to cause a lot of the matting, and the detangler changing the texture enough so they didn't seem to get sticky/dirty as fast. However, it tended to weigh down and straighten the hair along the spine, so I washed them again this morning, sans detangler and they seemed a bit curlier again. Let's hope they can refrain from peeing on their sweeps before Saturday. But for inbetween shows, I'm using the detangler. I really think they matted less often or not as badly after I applied it.

I still have to decide which adults I'm bringing for sale, besides the reserved pigs.

<Edit>Oh, and for the raffle I might bring the full series of Harry Potter books, or "Twilight" series, or both. Wonder if anyone would be interested. I don't forsee getting a chance to actually shop for stuff.
